[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks for all the great feedback on the Arctic Post Road film! 🤗 We have just released our new project from last winter "Ride to Ski", hope you enjoy it as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6rTiWWGpp2lnNk 🙌

Please consider lowering the music volume - almost drowns out their voices at several points 😞

[@sekainotamago]

If this doesn’t make you jump on a bike a head to the trail I don’t know what will 😍 Amazing video, thanks for sharing!

[@weeringjohnny]

After cycling in a 40 degree Italian summer I think I'd go for the 17 in Finland.

[@hennapalosaari_]

Hahah yup no need to worry about the heat in Lapland 😄😄

[@pavan20100611]

Loved it. Glad that I found this video. Thanks KZbin for recommendation. Can’t wait to see many more. Inspiring.

[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks so much! Happy KZbin recommend it for you :)) More films coming soon!

[@bartoszzochowski9475]

That is an outstanding and beautiful movie. I have been truly amazed. A fantastic adventure, the one I have been dreaming for some time now. I do cycle every day, in London, I commute to and back from the office, more or less 30 km daily and always have this wish to be able to do it without all those cars, trucks, traffic, green, red lights … it must have been an amazing experience for you Henna and Sami. Thank you for uploading this movie.

[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks a lot! I love cycling far away from all the hustle and bustle. Cycling every day gives you a great base for going on a longer adventure like this 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Truesilverful]

Mad respect for hero/es who filmed you.

[@hennapalosaari_]

Mikko-Pekka Karlin did amazing job with the filming and editing 🙌🏼

I went to Alta two months ago and there was a man who cycled from Lisbon to Nordkapp. He was 4 months on his way. Then there was this girl who was from Slovenia and she cycled from Helsinki to Nordkapp. They met there and started talking and I believe they later left together.

[@hennapalosaari_]

The best part of bikes they bring people together 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Domylaou]

Merci beaucoup pour cette découverte

[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks! 🙌🏼

[@obikedog]

Amazing scenery - an excellent adventure!

[@gregbanchy2643]

I would not have the courage to do what these two adventurous women were able to accomplish - congratulations on a job well done!! What is most impressive is the fact each maintained such a positive outlook in the face of difficult conditions. I would be concerned about braking down . . . in the middle of nowhere.

[@BaltistaniBoys]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list for solo hicking 😊

[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks! Sounds exciting! 🌼

[@GaryThomasSNSEP]

Spectacular scenery and fun. I almost miss cold weather:)

[@hennapalosaari_]

Cold weather has some pros in it :) thanks!

[@axutgautam1187]

What a marvelous marvelous video. I watched it intensely and imagined the beauty you guys experienced with your being, wow i wanna buy a cycle and explore beautiful places like this.

[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks - it was a beautiful trip in a beautiful place. Definitely recommend exploring places with a bike!

[@VFR12XRider]

[@metsafox2986]

Yeah the girls! That was awesome. 👍

[@hennapalosaari_]

Thanks a lot 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@mpkarlin]

What an adventure it was! Hope you like the final film 🔥

[@matthewnorway]

You did a great job with the filming and editing. The editing is really smooth with excellent transitions from one scene to the next and the music is especially fitting for the environment. 👏

[@mpkarlin]

@@matthewnorway Thank you! Great to hear. Learned so much on this trip how to film cycling 😁 First time doing this kind of production.

[@matthewnorway]

@@mpkarlin It's not easy filming a cycling adventure. Great first attempt! - How did you keep up with the riders in such remote conditions? Were you on a bike too? And how long did the edit take, it's beautifully done.

[@TimmyBabonneau]

You were riding a bike too ? Great movie, I love the intimacy that you create with your shots

[@surmatti]

The film was awesome! Thank you for sharing it. I would've liked to see more of the norwegian side of the trip but was glad to see parts of the route to Näkkälä because we had to skip it due to issues with my bike and that part of the route was in extremely bad condition in July. We rode the mountain bike route in July 2022 and made a film as well (1h 30min) of our journey. I'm not a professional in editing and it shows. 😀 Our gear was two cheap-ish fatbikes loaded with food for the whole week and gear for possible weather changes in the highlands. Our bikes weighed about 40kg's per bike and that made the uphills unnecessarily brutal.

[@chongrongjia72]

amazing! what an adventure!

[@soccerjockey]

Awesome! Makes me want to come visit and find my own way

[@hennapalosaari_]

I definitely recommend :)

[@aliis2000]

[@thefieldhag]

THIS IS SO INSPIRING!!! I've been aching to go to Finland for the last year and am dreaming of a fun women's bike packing trip! Thank you for sharing this, I'm truly incredibly inspired

[@joulins]

They’re doing what others are dreaming of ... I’ve been aching to go north too, but I’m sure I couldn’t do this trip by bike, I mean physically. Still thinking about hiking, maybe part of the route. Well, time will tell. 😃 Happy new year to you! 🎉

[@hennapalosaari_]

thanks so much! so nice to hear you liked it, hope to see you in Finland soon :)

[@hennapalosaari_]

I'm sure you could also do it by bike, just split it into more days :)
