Winter fat-biking in Ruka Finland by Pekka Lintusaari. Vuoden ensimmäiset tunnit kuluivat sähkö-fatbiken selässä Rukatunturin kupeessa! Merkattu reitti kulkee nimellä Pyhän Jyssäys Pikku Pyhävaaralle josta kiertää takaisin kohti Rukan hiihtokeskusta reitin lähtöpaikalle. Tämä on mun ehdottomia suosikkireittejäni.
