Frequently Asked Questions

What does self-supported mean?

During the race, riders must remain self-supported. This means no outside help is permitted, such as using or getting resupplies from friends. All food, drinks, and equipment must be carried with you or acquired at commercially available services. Any service used during the race must be available to all riders. This means booking accommodation or eating at restaurants is allowed.

What should I bring with me?

We recommend using a road bike for the race, but TT bikes, gravel bikes, and mountain bikes are also allowed — choose what suits your style and comfort best. A navigation device, such as a Garmin or Wahoo, is essential to follow the route accurately. For packing, we suggest bringing a small frame bag or saddlebag to carry essentials like a rain jacket, overnight items for your stay in Sweden, and spare tubes. Ultimately, your setup is entirely up to you — crafting the right gear selection is part of the bike-packing adventure.
