Fat-Bike: Baltic Sea, Oulu-Kemi.
The Baltic Sea traverse could be a challenging traverse. Also highly recommended if you are thinking to do a polar traverse in over exposed places.
We will support you in logistics as far as you want... From packet store, advice and transfers and field support (by snwomobile), so you just have to pedal without worry about anything else.
This 80 kilometers traverse in the frozen sea is for bikers with experience in cold weather and winter camping. In good snow and weather conditions a strong biker can do it in one day. But two or even three days could be necessary to do it*. Although that the track conditions can force you to push the bike, sometimes the wind blow very strong greatly slowing the progression.
Middle end of February and March are the best moment to try it.
In this journey all meals have to be cook in a white gas stove and the tent is the unique shelter for rest and sleep.
