Speed cameras everywhere
In Sweden and Norway speed cameras, fixed and mobile, are countless and fines are automatic. In villages the limit is 30 or 50 km/h. The tracker shows your speed too: traffic offences mean exclusion from the event.

Riding in the North: what to know
Lessons from the first edition, from Germany to Mageroya.
Fuel: cards, not cash
Many stations are unmanned and take chip-and-PIN cards only; shops at fuel stations are often fully automated. Test your card at the first automated pump you meet. Distances between stations can exceed 130 km.
Reindeer have right of way
From Lapland onward they are a constant presence on the road: slow down and wait for them to move. Respect Sápmi, its people and its protected areas.
The midnight sun
Total visibility at any hour, but your body gets no signal of nightfall. Respect your rhythms and do not ride tired, even if it is broad daylight.
Wind and cold on the plateau
The Finnmarksvidda and Mageroya island are exposed: gusts of 60–80 km/h and single-digit temperatures happen in July. Dress for it.
Wild camping
In Sweden and Norway the right of public access allows wild camping for one night in the same spot, without leaving any trace.
