Terrain & conditions
43.2 km
Distance
Strong mountain bikers often budget most of a day; Antti Luukkanen's Andyn blogi logged about six hours of ride time once weather, peat, and detours stacked up on an ~84 km GPS day that included extra gravel connectors beyond the core ribbon.
Est. Time
Packed gravel roads for the long connecting legs; forest soils with roots, peat, and short duckboard sections on trail portions; expect machine-graded forest roads between technical bits.
