Arctic Circle Winter Race
In reality, my participation in the race couldn't have started worse. The race was canceled even before I left Denmark. The organizer, who is what you call a character with a twinkle in the eye, could not make the project come together any more. Shortly before departure, he thus canceled the whole ordeal. And here we stood with […]
Fat Viking race
If you don't know what to use the dark winter evenings for, I have a good suggestion. Signing up for a winter race requires so many new skills, so much new knowledge, and some new equipment, so you sit night after night, hour after hour, in front of the computer and research, reach out to people like [...]
Montana's Vacias with BenBen and Co
The Montanas Vacias route is not technical, but with good altitude meters and most of the time the surface is fine gravel. Only in a few places are there larger stones. So our choice of bikes fell on the gravel bikes. Everyone on the team has a gravel bike built by BenBen. But none of them were the same model. It was a beautiful […]
Himalayan high passes and ancient monasteries
They say that a picture says more than 1,000 words. So this blog post is going to say a lot – because it's hard to limit yourself when choosing images to tell the story of our journey in the Himalayas of India, in an ancient kingdom called Zanskar. A time travel back 1,000 years, to Buddhist monasteries that […]
Bikepacking Montana's Vacias with the Komoot Women Rally
In May 2022, Marie was lucky enough to get one of 50 places for the Komoot Women's Rally. A fantastic initiative started by Lael Wilcox, who is one of the pioneers within ultrarace carpacking and a huge inspiration for both of us. Her heart beats to get more women to try bikepacking longer distances […]
Race report – Silk Road Mountain Race 2021
I have chosen to write my race report from the Silk Road Mountain Race 2021 quite extensively. My hope is that others who feel called to run the race can get as nuanced a picture as possible of what is required on as many different parameters as possible. I myself was very happy to […]
Bikepacking across Denmark
We have written the article 'A tribute to the Danish cycle routes' for the magazine Opdag Verden, which you can read here.
Iceland. Crossing the highlands
We have written an article about bikepacking in Iceland for the magazine Opdag Verden. It's called 'Bikepacking on Iceland's loneliest road' and you can read it here.
The Milky Way bikepacking route
The headline for this story should probably be more: "Much more than the Milky Way", because the trip to Norway ended up containing so much more than just bikepacking. After spending a long time trying to rent a van for the long term, we had to admit that it was both easier and cheaper to buy a car, and sell [...]
See you again, Alaska
We end where we started. In the great outdoors with high ceilings and landscapes that are so magnificent that we have to pinch ourselves to be absolutely sure that it is reality. Alaska has always been high on our list of places we want to visit. We, like so many […]
