The packing list: lights and clothes - ÖDESHÖG · 47 KM
Dawn at Omberg
The ride’s first climbs, as the sky gets light. This is where you notice if the pace from the start was too high.

The southern tip
The route turns north and climbs up from the lake. Eat now, even if you’re not hungry.
Train for the long hours - HJO · 173 KM

The bunch carries you
You take turns at the front and share the wind. This is where a group that has trained together makes the difference.
