Route features:

• Two countries so similar and different
• Perfect Finnish roads
• Overnight stay and finish at a camping

 The route contains no big mountains but a lot of hilly sections. No big cities and even not a lot of of smaller towns. No complex interchanges, easy route with detailed legend (as most of the route sections were already in use in Baltic Star brevets). Main attraction will be the Nature which one almost can't see in the Western Europe with hundreds of lakes, pine forests, and ledges. The Nature is much more similar in Russia and Finland than way of life.  The organizers will support participants all time during the ride. Experienced controllers will be at the most checkpoints. The finish will be in the Finnish town near Russian border Lappeenranta.
