It’s Gravel Day On The EUROPEAN DIVIDE TRAIL!

It’s time for the most gravel packed day of the whole trip as I try to cross the Arctic Circle Line before the end of the day. On my way I climb a couple of mountain passes, make it to the largest town of the trip so far, Jokkmokk and end the day with a glass of wine overlooking a nice lake where I pitch my tent.

  1. What a fantastic moment, when the day ends, and you are about to enjoy a nice warm meal with a couple of wine glasses, by the lake and into the woods..

    Priceless! 😍👌👌

  2. Hi Mike! I Love watching your videos! Do you have different bikes for different terrain? Do you have more than one bike? Just curious. I have 2 completely different bikes, but I don't do as much cycling as you do. Have a great day!!😊

  3. Thanks for taking me along on your Artic ride. It is aways nice to have the option of the trail or a paved road. When muddy or soft sand, or swarms of mosquitoes sucking the blood out of you, take the paved road.

  4. Hey Mike! Your videos are an inspiration that I could one day also ride the EDT😊. I also think you are capable of writing an amazing book about, that I would definitely read.

  5. Another great video. You really were lucky with the weather. Sometimes it rains for days in northern Sweden. When are you coming to southern Sweden?

  6. I enjoy your videos and saw something very odd with your bike. It appears that your fork is backwards though I’m not completely familiar with the Kona line of bikes, but I’ve never seen a front disc brake with the calipers on the right side of the fork. The reversed fork would also make the handling very twitchy with very little to no rake.

    I hope that I’m wrong, but I’ve worked in 3 bike shops and will admit that I’m new to disc brakes, but the fork really looks backwards.

    Keep up the great work!

  7. @9 minutes into the video when your collecting water, is it safe to drink or will you have to boil it first?

  8. Mike….what an awesome video as always. I really appreciate you bringing us such beautiful content….even if it is a bit dusty from time to time. 😊 What are the odds of you and @duzer meeting up for a ride in the future? That would be pretty fun but if it doesn't happen I'm always looking forward to your videos. Thanks for bringing us along!!!!

  9. It’s important to note that bicycles helmets also have an expiration date. Look inside the helmet it’ll tell you. I’m not joking.

  10. Great ride, as always😊 and yesss, duct-tape is a necessity when travelling. I had to patch my sleeping pad with duct tape 7 years ago, and the tape is still holding on 👌🏽
