Offroad
riding in Sweden
Do you ride a BMW
HP2, a KTM Adventure, a Honda XR 650, or any other dual-purpose bike?
Would you like to enjoy some days of fantastic offroad-riding on the kind of
roads that your dual purpose was built for?
Then you should come to Sweden!
In Sweden we have thousands
of kilometres of small gravel and forest roads which are open for public riding.
In the province of Värmland and in the areas nearby you´ll find some of the best
gravel roads in Sweden. The surroundings are beautiful with hundreds of lakes
and deep forests.
Everywhere there are lakes, forests and small gravel roads to explore!
Lodgings
We
make our “basecamp”
at
Kils Golfklubb in southern Vämland, where we stay in four-bed cabins.
The cabins
are
are equipped
with a small kitchen. Toilets and showers are in a building nearby.
In
Kil we
are at the southern tip of Fryksdalen, just on the edge of
Värmland´s wilderness with a great number of gravel roads just around the
corner.
The Golf
club is situated 25 kilometres north of
Karlstad, and only 6 kilometres from Kil,
where you can find shops, restaurants and petrol.
We start our Offroad Safari with dinner and driver´s meeting at the
Golf Restaurant on Wednesday evening.
Motorbike riding
Our concept is all about active offroad riding without luggage
(all
your gear be
kept in the cottages during the day)
and you forget about navigation, where to stop for lunch and petrol, etc. You
can just concentrate on your riding.
The first
two days we ride about
300 - 350 kilometres
and the
third day about 200 kilometres
on small gravel and forest roads and
only short distances on paved roads. Every day in different areas and on
different roads of course. Experienced travel guide accompany the group all the
time. During the day we make breaks in interesting places. We also stop for
petrol
and
lunch
along the way.
All meals and petrol is included in the price.
In the evenings we always come back to our basecamp.
The riding is
suited for
dual purpose and offroad bikes.
Myself
I
ride
a
KTM 950 Superenduro.
Good offroad tires like Continental TKC 80 or
Metzeler
Karoo is recommended.
You don´t have to be an offoroad expert to take part in this event,
but you should have some experience of riding on gravel. The pace will be adjusted to the participants.
