One hell of a climb. But well worth the effort since we got a fair decent as reward. Låktatjåkka mountain station… Continue reading Big mountain weekend – Day two

Bikepacking the easy and the hard way

Olov.S

Here´s some inspiration on bikepacking. I would love to load up the bike and go away for a couple of days. Or just one day like Yetirides from Finland does. The idea that you can have an adventure by just going out on a ride around the corner is awesome.
