Here’s one of the four bicycles (with some refinements reminaing) that our crew we’ll begin riding this coming Friday, April 23, at the airport in Tromso, Norway. With the support of the Consulate General of Norway, and on assignment for WEND Magazine, Adventure Cyclist, and others, we are embarking on a month-long, bike-supported skiing adventure through northern Norway’s Tromso/Lyngen/Alta region – home to the Arctic Alps, the midnight sun and the beautiful Arctic fox. We will be joined by our good friends, Forrest Twombly of Roxbury, VT and Tom Hite, who also lives and skis in Vermont’s Mad River Valley. (Due to an injury that needs more time to heal, Dylan Crossman will not likely be joining us on this trip.) Let’s hope Iceland’s erupting volcano remains cooperative!
We’d also like to say thanks to a few others helping to make this trip a success, including our friends at Black Diamond, Surly Bikes, Mammut, Pacific Outdoor Equipment, Ibex, BOB Trailer, Skout Natural Foods, Smartwool, Outdoor Research, Garmont, Ortlieb USA, Tubus Racks, Brunton, VisitTromso, Onion River Sports and Patagonia.
Stay tuned for more updates…
