Sorry for the lack of updates
Due to obligatory military service, and racing with Team Finland I haven't had much time to maintain our internet-pages. I have decided to use that little time for the Finnish version (can be found in the web-address www.ratamelonta.net), which has maybe 60% of our visitors. Decision was hard, but inevitable. I have many updates in my mind, and it's sure they will come real, but it will take some time. For those who can or want to try to understand finnish I recommend to take look at the www.ratamelonta.net. We will be back someday!
