Mauno Ruutikainen sent us some pictures of his Finland-Sweden-France cycling tour in early summer 2013.
Mauno is sportly, in his mid-sixties and the proud owner of the Ullmann Magistrale exhibition sample, which we presented for the very first time on the GoExpo fair 2013 in Helsinki, Finland. For this cycling show we assembled it as a solid hybrid bicycle with reliable components.
Mauno expanded the existing equipment with clipless pedals, fenders, bottle holder, carriers on front and rear and created a fast rolling trekking bike out of it.
Mauno purchased this exclusive bicycle in spring and cycled immediately a longer "dedication ride".
His journey started in Sastamala (Southwest Finland) and took him via Eslöv - Lübeck - Uelzen - Bockenem - Kassel - Marburg - Koblenz - Birkenfeld - Delme - Epinal - Gray - Louhans - Lyon - Loriol-sur-drome to Saint-Jean-de-Serres close by Avignon in France.
Mauno visited us in Ikaalinen after he accomplished this tour and was after approx. 3000 cycled kilometer overwhelming his blazing red Ullmann Magistrale trekking bike.
