ICE ROAD Oslo Winter Forest Border Ride
In Norway, February 2020, I hatched a plan to do a loop following the Oslo county border as closely as possible - using roads, tracks and trails. I knew I was most likely going to come across some hiking sections and ice roads - and this was why I wanted to do it. I was seeking a test of my psychology, my attitude and my physical grit. The more rough and frustrating the route - the better!
The original route on Komoot came out at around 140km total. Traditionally, I left the house a lot later than I should have. This meant the Norwegian winter darkness crept in rather quickly. What followed was a simultaneously beautiful yet gauntlet of gravel track covered in ice and snow as well as hiking trails littered with tree roots and rocks.
As the freezing temperatures kicked in and the clock struck midnight, I made a dash back to the safety of the city. The higher elevation and snowy roads just really made the cold bite. This was also one of my first ever rides on true ice tracks so I didn't want to push my luck. The attempt rounded off at a little over 100km and a hefty chunk of elevation gain. For now, this particular challenge will have to go into the Unfinished Business pile.

'Press F For Fringe' alleycat in Edinburgh, Scotland, hosted by Will (@a_p_r_v_d). The race involved lots of mind-bending and surprising tasks and the usual physical assault as well as some fun warm-up events. I placed near the back of the pack and I was totally fine with that - I got a cookie for being an out-of-towner regardless. More cycling, hiking and adventure content coming to this chann...

      Can't recall - probably National Express. I think you can sometimes get lucky if it's quiet. It is a nuisance though and causes anxiety. Even trains are annoying to book / plan with a bike. Guess that's why it's good to get strong at riding super far so you never have to use them... ha!

      Heck yeah dude, that sounds awesome. I did a few marathon and a double-marathon distances as prep for this too. Thinking about doing another 100km+ in 24 hours again this year... maybe less weight and use the shops along the way. Walking in the dead of night has a beautiful peacefulness to it - even if you're pushing yourself hard.

    Congrats to get the 100k done. And from personal experience I can tell it´s harder to make it in 24hrs than in 20hrs or less. Finally it´s the time on the trail which is killing the mind and the joints. My longest hike was a 26hrs solo with 120km. Trying to beat myself failed. So far. Curious, if you will try it again. Subscibed.

      Yeah, pushing to the 24 hours is brutal. Last winter I did a thirty-one hour bike ride (no sleep) and the Goggins Challenge. Now I'm thinking about doing another attempt this winter - maybe actually use shops along the way this time so I don't have to carry as much weight. 26 hours for 120km is insane bro.
