Unlike 2005, when it dawned sunny and cold for the first six days of the ski, the morning of day 1 of the 2007 RR came up warm and cloudy. Little did we know this was about as cold as it would get between Kuusamo and Tornio.
We had had such a great time at the Rajalta Rajalle Hiihto in Finland in 2005, we couldn't wait to get back for another try this season.
