    Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. I ride my fattie in winter in Canada, so I enjoyed it a lot! Good for you!

    The race leader in @ 25:57 is riding a 2021 Trek Farley 5, proving you don't need a carbon frame to win a race.

    This is serious mental toughness. So boring to ride in winter for that long.

    Thanks for sharing ! Nice work with the camera and great effort on the ride ! I am wondering what camera you were using and how you kept the battery warm and charged ?

      Thanks! I was using an Insta360 X3 mounted to my handlebars, which made filming very easy. I had a power bank to keep it charged.

    Hej Tor!
    kan du dela med oss hur har du ställt in dubbarna på dina vinterdäck?
    Personligen byter jag dubbarna men jag märker att du använder alla linjer utan att lämna mellanrum (det optimala sättet)
    Hälsningar fråmn Skellefteå, Sverige

      Hei! Jeg har aldri pigget noen dekk selv. Dette var med ferdigpiggete 45Nrth Dillinger med 258 pigger 🙂

    Good job. So now you are ready to train for Alaska Iditarod race of 350 miles or 1000 miles. I am tracking them now and these are not humans 😂, they are super humans. Temps are now with wind -27F to -40F around 350 mile checkpoint. After dog races there are Fat tire bikers, some skiers and even some runners in a race. There are some tough people in northern countries. I believe there are some racers from Norway.

      Thanks! Yes, I did Fat Viking in 2021 as a qualifier for ITI, but I lost interest when i saw the entrance fee 😄

      @@TorHovlandDarn it, I didn't even think about it. How much was it? I can't find current fee, although I can see why it would cost a lot. It requires flying racers and equipment back. I believe a lot of them do fundraising prior to, but for the reference, summer Mt Marathon in Seward is so popular that people pay up to $1500 just to buy a lottery entry 🤦🏼‍♀️ and there is nothing huge, out of ordinary as far as support, and the race is short.

      @@makb5354 Yeah, that's about the same as ITI350 last time I checked. If it includes the return flight, that helps a bit.

    The path looks gorgeous. Were you on an electric bike? You seemed too relaxed.

      As stated by Fat Viking:
      No (hidden) motors, no doping!
