Finnskogen Gravel Event – Sweden

Touring in the heart of Gravel-land on the border of Sweden and Norway.
We arrange full-day trips on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday we will do a half-day tour.
Optional Off-road training will be offered on Thursday for an extra cost (1500 NOK)
The tours will hopefully be in both Sweden and Norway, but will only be in Sweden if we have the same restrictions as today.

We split into groups based on experience and riding skills. The main difference between groups will be the need for speed.
