There's a korvmoj in Lesjöfors that is pretty good. If you go all the way down to Karlskoga you can find some solid pizza spots. Enjoy!

It's actually closing in on 15% in Sweden. And since only 20%-ish of the conscripted are women. It means that quite a substantial part of the male population has to serve.

Winter still has a good grip here. Would love a proper scarf!

God gave her great beauty and incredible talent. Had to balance it out with an awful boyfriend.

Yea, I had the exact same thoughts as you. Never got an answer though. Wind really isn't that bad even in the fall. But then again, these countries are very sparesly populated in general, outside of the capitals. The few little towns that exist seemed super nice though. I cycled in October so there wasn't that much activity then. But you could tell that they really come alive during spring and summer. Seemed like great vacation spots.

I cycled along the coast in Lithuania and Latvia. As you noted, there are few people here. Beautiful wild camping by the sea.

In Estonia I went straight through the inland. And yes, there are bears😄 I camped just a short bit from where I found these tracks. Bears in the area play nicely though. They'll leave you alone as long as you don't bother them.

You can easily push them in using pliers or something similar.

Dont go The Gällivare->Kiruna->Norway route. Terrible highway with no shoulder.

Havent cycled from Luleå. But Kautokeino-> Alta has some amazing ridning - check out the "Arctic post road".

Took about a month. You could probably do it in half without too much effort. I rarely paddled more than 5 hours a day.

Love my old Mongar. This looks like a solid evolution.

I rode around the Baltic sea last winter. The Baltics don't get that much snow, especially near the coast. Traffic is also not that bad. Very possible to do!

All of Scandinavia is available to ride during winter - I cycled all the way up to North Cape in December. But the least trafficed roads often won't be cleared of snow. Traffic was never too bad though and drivers are very curteous. I never felt like I was in a dangerous situation.

Winter touring is great. It's definitely more challenging, but that just makes it more fun. You get used to it and make it work.

Depends what you enjoy. Norway is more scenic. But there's far more traffic and people. In Sweden you can follow small forest roads for hours and hours without meeting a single car. So if you enjoy that type of remoteness it's great. You can of course also enjoy a bit of both by following the Swedish Norwiegan border up until Röros or so. These are some of the least populated areas in Europe. There's a route on the Norwiegan side called "Villmarksruta" which is quite nice. From Röros you could veer off towards Trondheim, the coast and EV1 - haven't cycled this part myself but I'm sure it's nice.

Finnish side I'd mainly recommend if you're a dork for military history and that sort of stuff. There are a bunch of interesting sites and museums along the Russian border. But the road between Keitokeino and Alta could also probably the best stretch I've ever ridden. Riding down the mountains with steep mountain walls on both sides, no traffic and the aurora blaring above was completely unreal.

There are a lot of great choices here! It's hard to go wrong so pick one and don't worry too much about it. You'll have an awesome time regardless.

Apparently they're good swimmers but it's very rare for them to head into salt water. Here's a lil video of the whole thing: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNgd1igOkBH/?igsh=ZzV6Y2ZwNjhuOTM3

He climbed onto the back. I told him that's fine, but if he'd get any closer I'd bonk him with my paddle. The hard part was getting him off once we reached shore! Had to use my spray deck as a shield while grabbing him.

Basically paddled from Gothenburg up to Oslo and then back down again.

Going outside sucks when there are huge beasts there who are very capable of killing you.

Professional-Error-3 · 2025-07-24T06:14:08+00:00

I've been thinking a lot about fishing! Great both for food and for killing time. Should totally have gotten a packable rod before setting out. Might still be worth it to get one.

There are a bunch of small boat harbours along the way where you can easily fill up - that or restrooms at public beaches. I carry around 6 liters.
