- Hi,
- I'd like some information about biking in the Kuusamo area.
- I'm planning a trip there next summer, around end of July
- to August.
- I'd like to know something about weather, road conditions,
- campsites or youth hostels.
- I'd also like to know if there are villages in the area,
- so that I can buy food and perhaps find a bicycle repair
- in case something goes wrong. I have a good mountain
- bike, so I won't mind about rough roads or tracks.
- Also, do you know how I can ship my bike up to there?
- I think the nearest train station is in Rovaniemi, which
- is about 200 km away from Kuusamo: can I bring my bike
- with me on the train from Helsinki, or should I ship it?
- Can I ship it straight from home to Rovaniemi?
- Please, if possible, reply by e-mail.
- Thanks in advance,
- Andy.
- P.S.: I believe that area is flat: is it?
