The Tour
|
Each participant can cycle the stages
at his/her own pace. You can choose to cover the
distance in a more or less relaxing way with exploring
the local villages, photo stops at every chosen moment,
a well deserved break on a terrace or a visit to the
gelateria. Alternatively, you can try to cover the
distance as fast you can.
Everyone gets daily a detailed description and map of
the stage. Next to that we provide GPS-tracks, so that
navigation gets easier.
We advise you to bring a GPS which has the option to
upload files. It is a very helpful device to find the
correct way without looking at detailed maps or an
overload of instructions. |

Support
Vehicles
|
The journey is supported by two
vehicles. One vehicle brings the luggage to the next
place, so you don't have to carry luggage on your bike.
The other vehicle gives support on the road and provides
the lunch half way the stage.
The cyclists who are not able to ride, or cannot finish
the stage, have always the possibility to take a seat in
one of the support vehicles. We will take care that
everyone arrives at the finish location before the
evening. |

Food
|
We provide on cycling days an extensive
breakfast ( bread, cereals, fruit ) and halfway the
stage a tasty lunch is waiting for you. In addition, we
will take care that you can recover with an extra meal (
soup, bread, fruit, salty snacks ) after finishing the
stage and that you always have sufficient water and
sport drinks.
The cook of Bike-Dreams prepares in campsites a dinner
full of carbohydrates and all nutrients your body needs.
We don't serve alcoholic drinks during dinner like in
our South-European tours.
We do not serve food at the rest days and if we stay in
a hotel, we don't serve dinner. This gives you the
opportunity to explore and sample the local cuisine.

Accommodation
|
Suitable accommodation has been
organised throughout the tour. It's a combination of
campsites and a few times a hotel.
The night before the start in Oslo and the night after
the finish in Honningsvåg is a hotel arranged. Next to
that you can expect a hotel room during the rest days in
Trondheim, Torghatten and Tromsø.
At several campsites you have the possibility to rent a
bungalow or hut at own expense.

Participants
|
The number of participants is limited
due to organizational reasons. For people from all over
the world it is possible to sign up for the tour.
The tour is open for men and women with an age between
18 and 67. Everyone with a good health and passion for
cycling can finish the journey in a normal way.

Non-Cyclists
|
It is an
option to join as non-cycling participant, which means
that you can take a seat in one of the support vehicles.
You make the same journey as the cycling participant,
it's only not on the bike.
You can help the other crew with shopping, prepare the
lunch halfway or help in the kitchen; but first of all :
you must enjoy the journey. We will not asked you to
help. It's all up to yourself if you want to help. We
prefer that all participants ( and especially the
non-cyclists ) visit the local towns and villages where
we stay, in stead of chopping carrots.
The registration and Entry Fee is similar as for cyclists.
