For those unfamiliar, the Primustreff is a camping rally held by a lake just north of Oslo Norway during the last week of February. Reliably -20, studded tyres job. I know an MCC we can tag onto in Denmark heading up.
Would need to book ferries fairly soon, as I’m not inclined to ride up from Calais / Hook, and the options are getting more limited with the cancellation of the Harwich route.
I’ve got this sort of thing in mind for 2016 - I think I either need to get more used to dropping the tiger (I am getting quite good at that…) or a bike I really don’t mind throwing at trees before I commit to a bunch of snow riding.
Alternatively, a sidecar and knobblies on the CX could be amusing…
We’ll need to acquire/rent a proper field tent and beds, beg/borrow/steal some decent sleeping bags, and buy suitable clothing for the bike. Wool. Lots of wool.
It’s a long time since I lived in Oslo, -20 is cold brrr, it’s a very dry cold though which makes it bearable with the right gear. but I could build a igloo from ice blocks in the garden. Igloos are warm when done right!
