Hey all.

I’ve just come back from riding the Rovaniemi 150 weekend before last and if anyone on here is looking for an adventure or a goal to work towards go for it. If I can do it then anyone can!!

Just wrote a blog entry about it if any one fancies a it of read about it.

I based all of my kit choice and most of my preparation on other peoples blogs so know how useful they are!

Rovaniemi 150

Nice write-up dude, I knew those 5″ tyres weren’t wide enough.

Great write up. I’m really tempted by this. Doing one last Puffer next year and this the year after hopefully. How hilly is it?

Not hilly at all to be honest. 4000feet all in. The trail is hard going and slow but more in a zapping way rather than a hillfest.
To be honest I trained by just doing lots of long and full laden rides and replicated the terrain by compensating with big hills so after dragging a 70lb bike around the peaks taking in 10,000 feet of climbing on a ride it was like a breath of fresh air!

Yeh there were a few smug people with 5″ tyres on 100mm rims!
