It is again time for a biking trip with APK, and this time we are heading to Ekvalla beach on Thursday, 5th June! We will go for a bike ride at a chill pace, then eat snacks on the beach while enjoying the view. We start the trip by meeting at the parking lot of Assarin Ullakko at 5 pm (next to the bike repair machine). The route is approximately 28 km long round trip, mostly consisting of cycle paths and some bits with gravel. The route has an easy difficulty. You can take a swimsuit and a towel with you if you want to swim during the snack break at the beach!
