3rd X4 miitti 2011

1. – 3. 7. 2011 Kuivaniemi

We had quite a party at SIKU-MOTO MC clubhouse in Kuivaniemi, not so far from the Arctic Circle. Thanks to hosts and organizers!

During the Saturday ride-out we switched bikes to a boat, had a trip to an island for some barbecue. At this historical site there has been a sawmill, which went out of business year 1925. The remains of the leftover wood material, which was used to fill up the shores, was still clearly visible. When we finally got back to clubhouse it was time for competitions, some more sauna and eventually, under the midnight sun, prizegiving in a lapland style teepee “Kota”.

Trophies were traditional: Longest distance, ladies prize was for ” the old lady Hilde”, drivers Corinna and Tina. Men’s prize was for Christian. Both winners had travelled over 3000 kilometers to arrive to the meeting. Similar distances were plenty in men’s category, thanks to our German friend who obviously like to ride their bikes! In the shortest distance there was a difference; in ladies class Leena got the prize with over 1000km (Shortest distance & +1000km, respect!) but men’s shortest was picked up by Lasse, who’s result was 10km ;-)X4 cup went to Markku because of his superior accuracy with slingshot. Favourite bike votes were even between Conty and Leena. We had to call for “lady luck” to make the choice and she chose Leena who had already left the party, but the prize was be delivered at her home later. Gratulations to all winners!

The happy owner of a new sauna hat thanks and checks out, it’s nice to continue from here to the next year meeting (planning is already ongoing).
