Henna

I’m an amateur adventurer who rides bikes, snowboards and surfs for the love of the sport and outdoors. I want to break the idea that you need to be a professional, break the records or do the gnarliest stuff to call it an adventure. I'm not special, my adventures are not special but they're my adventures and that’s what makes them special for me. On this channel, I want to give a tribute to amateurs and hope to inspire you to explore the outdoors your way.

Konttainen GRVL loop

Perfect short but beautiful gravel ride around Ruka and Konttainen. Included more paved road but most of the traffic was reindeers so it didn't bother us :) Great views to Valtavaara as well!

Ruka-Kuusamo-Ruka GRVL Loop

We combined two of the routes, Ruka-Määttälänvaara-Kuusamo and Ruka-Oivanki-Kuusamo, into one big loop. Smooth gravel, one fun single track section, reindeers and beautiful lake views. At Kuusamo you can have a break or buy snacks from some cafes and shops as well!

This is the full route from our three day bikepacking loop up into the Rondane Rundt National Park. Although not the most mountainous part of Norway, this area makes for great touring territory.

Quiet roads, fell views, a real sense of wilderness, small Lapland towns and reindeer: that's what this weekend-friendly bikepacking route in Finnish Lapland is all about.

The south-west of Finland offers some of the finest gravel roads in Finland. The network of smooth gravel roads, double tracks, forest roads and single tracks is endless in this area. To make it even better, most of them are in top-notch shape so you can expect some dreamy sections of smooth rally gravel

The next morning, I unlocked a new level of bikepacking, starting the day with a morning onsen before beginning a cold descent through the mist. It was my last day of biking before I would take a train back to Tokyo and explore the city for two days. I wondered if there was still something that could

After climbing through the mist for a few hours the next morning, I finally started seeing rays of sunlight shining through the fog. Before I knew it, I saw the same jagged peaks as the day before, now standing tall above a sea of clouds. I couldn’t be happier that I had waited a day before climbing
