Cycling Nordmarka på langs

We’re crossing Nordmarka by bike! Heading out from Oslo on Saturday, we will ride up north and find a camping spot to spend the night before heading back on Sunday. Distance each day is roughly 40-50 km and 800m elevation, and we will ride mostly on gravel roads. 

Start and end point is Sognsvann T-Bane, and we will aim for a camp spot close to Grua so there’s an opportunity to restock on food on Saturday evening (although we recommend to carry enough anyway). If you are only able to join one day, this means you can also do one way by train.

This is going to be a ride at an easy pace, but the terrain is hilly. The roads are generally smooth gravel and don’t require higher technical skills. Any bikes with wider tires (35mm +) should be fine. If you are not sure about the terrain and/or bike, the ride on Tuesday will be a good try-out :) 

You need to carry your food, clothes and sleeping gear on the bike, and ideally carry as little of the weight as possible on your back. We have sleeping gear, tents, some bikepacking bags and cooking gear you can borrow, and we will help to coordinate the shared gear so we can travel light! If you need help with other gear or have questions regarding the biking, contact Noemi or Timm!
