  • I had one of the best mountain biking seasons I have ever had and now I want to make some kind of summary of different places where I have visited.
    First off Kilpisjärvi. Why you should go there or at least why I want to go there again?
    The place has some magic. It's different than the rest of the Lapland and it's also not a Norway. The place has a character of it's own and I find it very fascinating.
    Reason number 2. Clean air. It felt so crisp and so good to breath it. We have clean air everywhere in Finland when compared to many other places in the world, but still the air in Kilpisjärvi felt different. We breath 10 000 litres of air every day, so it's no wonder that clean air can make you feel much better.
    Nightless nights. Sun does not set below the horizon and although it was cloudy I could ride in the middle of the night without lights.
    This happens also in the Southern Finland, but the phenomenom is much stronger in Lapland. Riding in the nightless night felt different than riding in the daylight. It was so quiet and peaceful.
    The only friends that I got were reindeers. I met a large crowd of them and they did not seem to care that I was riding the same trails. Unfortunately I could not fire up my camera. It would have been amazing scene in the video.
    I do count the reindeers as a reason to go mountain biking in Kilpisjärvi. That's something different that I don't usually experience on my regular rides.
    Reason number 5 is the love of technical trails. I'm mean you really should appreciate technical challenges or you will hate this place. There are no easy flowing trails.
    Lot's of rocks, large rocks, so many river crossings and places where you just have to carry your bike. Rides in Kilpisjärvi are more about adventures than just mountain biking.
    My final reason to go back to Kilpisjärvi is Skibotn. It's said that there are some of the best trails in Norway. Skibotn is very close to Kilpisjärvi. I could stay in Kilpisjärvi and make day trips to Skibotn area.
    Those are the six reasons why I want to go back to Kilpisjärvi next summer. I also failed to visit on top of Saana fjell - so that's a reason number 7.

      It would be fun to do it for Android too, but let's see. I'll be doing some feature development for this iOS versio, so let's see first that where this app will go.

      You have a good start. Idea is good, so just keep developing and collecting more trails.

      That's great to hear. I'm preparing a small update to add few trails soon.

      Se toimii hyvin, kun on globaali yhteisö.
