riho kirjutas:Looks all the way downhill to me. On the map at least:-). Have a nice ride!

Yes. That's the advantage of cycling south..

Thanks for the best wishes!

Hey, my cycling friends in the Estonian cycling forum. Thanks for all your advice last year with my cycle trip to the North Cape (via Estonia) http://arctic-cycler.com/biking/eindhoven-nordkapp-kirkenes-2013/ . It was also great to meet some of you. I am really excited (and also quite scared) on wha...

Hi all. The third and final video from my summer cycle trip is ready. In this segment of the trip, I explore the far north peninsulas of Norway's coast. It it a spectacular coastline, and I have fabulous weather. I hope you like the video! http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/09/23/new-video-2013-cycling-a...

Hi all. The second video of my cycle trip from Eindhoven in Holland to the North Cape is now ready. This is the segment where I pass through Scandinavia, ending at the North Cape in Norway. I'm interested in hearing what you think! :-) http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/09/18/new-video-2013-cycling-adven...

Not quite an editorial tip, but I did notice that the video does not really seem to unveil any challenging parts (something like in the beginning of this one http://vimeo.com/73174869 ). Too experienced, lucky with the weather, and guarded with a generally high road safety? Or you just cut the darn...

Now that my cycle trip from Holland to the North Cape has finished, I am putting together some nice material to remind me of the trip. Here is the first of 3 videos I am preparing of the trip - this one from Holland to Tallinn. This is where I cycled through Estonia, and met with Raimo from the foru...

Thanks for sharing! Since were quite biased towards competitiveness in this forum (you'd often see seamingly regular people competing for the 200th or even 700th place on events commented here if you'd be able read the local fairy language), I have to ask - what's your opinion on the general effect...

After cycling 6315km, I have had my first week of ‘normal life’. I miss the road, and its good to be back. Both at the same time. Thinking about my trip, I am collecting and collating material from the trip. You will see some of the results of this in the coming weeks. Today I have my final route fo...

Day 58. I cried. Cycling leaving Kirkenes. It's over. And the next adventure is in the planning.
Greeted at the airport by my wonderful friends. Welcome home to real summer. It's hot here. Now night has fallen, and it's dark! http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/08/04/day-58-eindhoven/

Day 57. Today was my last day cycling. A small stint in the sun to Kirkenes - where they are partying in the warm sun. It's the city festival - to say goodbye to a tired and contented cycler. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/08/03/day ... -kirkenes/

Day 56. My bike trip started with heat, and now, in the Arctic, it is ending with heat. Cycling and swimming in the bright sun, exploring the Russian border. Cycling along Pasvikdaken. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/08/02/day ... -holmfoss/

Day 53. Today was wet, and warm. Grey and uninspiring until the weather really got erratic. On the back road to Bugøynes, I had a downpour and a beautiful rainbow. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/30/day ... -bugoynes/

Day 52. A cloudy, slow day, ending at the most northern point in the EU. Hello Finland! http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/29/day ... v-nuorgam/

Day 51. I could have been cycling in Australia. Desolate plains - the mid north in South Australia. Then with trees - somewhere in New South Wales.
What was a sunny and warm day became exciting as the black clouds drew in.http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/28/day ... jakobselv/

Day 50. Beautiful hike in the sun. My own private valley. My own private fjord. Sun in my heart. The smell of cloudberries on my fingers. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/27/day ... yra-vardo/

Day 39 was meant to be a rest day. None of that. Instead a spectacular road through the tundra. One of my favourite roads to date. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/16/day ... ta-canyon/

arctic-cycler

Now this is where we really start getting jealous - 38 vacation days and the end is not yet on the horizon (a normal lad takes 30, which includes spending 23 of them watching le Tour), actual mountainous areas, mileage starting to exceed the average annual dose.. Add some more and not even a bad mi...

Day 38. Amazing night cycling alone in the beautiful expanse of the Finnmarksvidda. Then dropping down and down a spectacular canyon into Alta. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/15/day ... arvi-alta/

Day 34. I passed the 4000km mark and crossed the Arctic Circle. All that cycling on magic forest roads and passing the finest lakes. Perfect weather. Perfect day. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/11/day ... lix-pello/

Day 33. Silence in the forest. Silence at the lake. Just the wind. Beautiful. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/10/day ... lea-kalix/

Day 32 was grey but with a tailwind. I was a happy chappy. Super friendly people in Luleå. This is where I decided to stay the night.

http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/09/day ... e-lulea-3/

arctic-cycler

It was harder to enjoy day 31 with a headwind and lots of roadworks. Still, some nice parts and an interesting mega camping ground. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/08/day ... set-byske/

arctic-cycler

Day 30 and my first day in Sweden. A nice talk on the boat trip. Another lovely forest road. And a youth hostel that kind of didn't exist. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/07/day ... sa-anaset/

Day 29 on my cycle trip from Holland and I am in Vaasa in Finland. The fight against the wind was with it. I discovered beautiful forest roads and a meteor crater. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/06/day ... unki-vasa/

Day 28 and I am in Kristiinankaupunki. Try to pronounce that.

Forest paths, stampeding forest cows and the Finnish version of a Pavlova.

Day 27 on my cycle trip from Holland to the North Cape. Sun, strawberries, sand dunes and sunset. I'm at beautiful Yyteri beach. http://arctic-cycler.com/2013/07/04/day ... ta-yyteri/

As very good bump hosts, Haanja and couple other parts of Võru county already await you for a return or second trip =)

Yes. I'll have to come back to experience those bumps.
