Gibraltar-Nordkap 2024-2025

Special News:  Finland performance from Professor Beierke (Alois numbers in bracket) Total distance: 1314.9km. ( 662 km) Total up climbing: 6271HM (3010 HM) Total time on the bike: 52.9 Std (27.3 Std) Backstage Information : My short assessment about Finland: - Wonderful and very friendly people - Excellent camping infrastructure - Beautiful nature, lakes, reindeer - Good streets but had to use the sometimes very busy streets E4/E8.
