Sverigetempot 2012

From RIKSGRÄNSEN in the very north to SMYGEHUK in the extreme south, a distance of close to 2,100 kms through the entire length of Sweden. A few hours by plane, a bit more than 24 hours by train, a few days adventure by car and an extreme challenge of endurance by cycle - otherwise known as SVERIGETEMPOT 2012!

Tomorrow Micke and Iain set off on the long train journey up to the start point which lies about 400 kms north of the arctic circle. The race, with at time of writing 49 entrants from several countries, starts at 08:00 on Tuesday 26th June. As far as we know the record is 5 days, 14 hours and 16 minutes. As it's a race we won't reveal much about our plan but suffice to say that Iain plans to be in work on Monday 2nd July!

Follow us here on our blog and through the twitter hashtag #sverigetempot for regular updates and pictures as we take on this challenging adventure.
