 2016年5月12日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
						Day 1b - Flying to Alta
 2016年5月12日, ノルウェー ⋅ 🌧 5 °C

Day 2 - Around Alta
 2016年5月13日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
						A day of re-building bikes and stocking up on food. Camping and cooking in the wild for the next two days!
Day 3 - Cycling Calamity and Climbing
 2016年5月14日, ノルウェー ⋅ 🌙 3 °C
						
								1st day cycling was a mix of comical incompetence and big payoffs. 
We left the hotel at 1, going the wrong way 3 times before finally finding our way out an hour later.
I fell off within the firstもっと詳しく
Day 4 - Snow, Wind and Reindeer Jerky
 2016年5月15日, ノルウェー ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

Day 5 - Crossing into Finland
 2016年5月16日, フィンランド ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

We are both in the rhythm ofもっと詳しく
Day 6 - Wet weather and cheap coffee
 2016年5月18日, フィンランド ⋅ 🌙 1 °C

Day 7a - Tornio by different wheels
 2016年5月18日, フィンランド ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

This means we skip some of theもっと詳しく
Day 7b - At the Swedish Border
 2016年5月18日, フィンランド ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C
						We arrived in rain-soaked Tornio - a border town to Sweden - and cycled to a 'campsite', which is so water-logged that we have had to rent another Cabin. I'm actually starting to miss sleeping on theもっと詳しく
Day 8 - Saved by public transport
 2016年5月19日, スウェーデン ⋅ 🌙 4 °C
						Day 1 in Sweden got off to a rather shakey start,as we left town following our route only to find the only path was a dual carriageway with 110 km speed limits. Worse still, the rain that weatherもっと詳しく
Day 9 - Sweden looking up (and down...)
 2016年5月21日, スウェーデン ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
						
								Leaving Lulea for Pitea and avoiding another day on the miserable E4 meant drastically detouring and forming our longest route yet (estimated at 86km).
On the plus side, the weather was beautiful andもっと詳しく
Day 10 - Big(ger) city frustrations
 2016年5月22日, スウェーデン ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

Day 11 - Sundsvall aaaand breakdown!
 2016年5月22日, スウェーデン ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

DAY 12 - Good people make for good trips
 2016年5月24日, スウェーデン ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

Day 13 - Garden to Guesthouse
 2016年5月25日, スウェーデン ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
						After a good night's sleep in Mike and Sara's garden (in spite of the heavy overnight rain) they helped get us going with a coffee in their warm, dry kitchen before heading to work. We were treated toもっと詳しく
Day 14 - Riders on the Storm
 2016年5月26日, スウェーデン ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
						As we were in a B&B and there was a window of relatively dry weather in the afternoon, we opted to take our time enjoying the spoils. It gave time for a proper breakfast, allowed for hand-washedもっと詳しく
Day 15 - Fleeing the Rain
 2016年5月27日, スウェーデン ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
						After the previous day and a glance at future, rain-heavy weather forecasts, we decided that today was the day to make our last public transport hop. In order to stay (roughly) on track, we had toもっと詳しく
Day 16 - Engl(ish) Country Ride
 2016年5月27日, スウェーデン ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

Day 17 - An actual, factual Cycle Path!
 2016年5月29日, スウェーデン ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
						After a very quick 2km descent from our ski lodge-based camp, we quickly hit a cycle path with signs suggesting they would run for the length of our day's ride. To our surprise and joy, that turnedもっと詳しく
Day 18 - Here comes the sun...
 2016年5月29日, スウェーデン ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
						So we woke up in another cosy cabin, wrapped in our sleeping bags as we were on the budget end and so no bedding was supplied (still, better than a tent in the rain). Unfortunately I seem to haveもっと詳しく
Day 19 - Argh! So much sun!
 2016年5月31日, スウェーデン ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
						
								After an evening camping in Boras, being bothered by the local crazy cat lady (a feature of all Swedish urban camping sites) we started riding out of the city as the sun rose in a cloudless sky.
As aもっと詳しく
Day 20 - Lunch in sun, Dinner in storms
 2016年6月1日, スウェーデン ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
						So we awoke in our bug-infested, abandoned campsite and didn't waster any time getting our tents packed so we could move to the lakeside for breakfast. I did indulge my inner wild-man by using theもっと詳しく
Day 21 - Tracing the Atlantic
 2016年6月1日, スウェーデン ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
						With some Kilometres to make up, we set off and got straight onto the 'Route 1' cycle path.
