Bikepacking Birken (Lillehammer)

Join us on a bike-packing trip with OSI Friluft! This is a perfect trip for those who like gravel cycling, but are keen to get a bit further away from the city. Especially suited for those new to bikepacking! We'll roughly follow the GravelBirken 100km route, doing around 50km per day and staying in a DNT cabin (either Halgutusveen or Åkersætra, exact route TBC). 

You should have good fitness to cycle 100km over two days, but don't have to be a racing legend! We'll take a relaxed pace where the focus is on having fun and being in nature with others. You'll need your own bike suitable for riding on gravel. No extra special equipment is needed – a backpack is fine if you don't have bike bags. See the gear list below for more.

Cost is 650kr which includes: return train Oslo S-Lillehammer (inc. bike fee), DNT cabin, vegetarian dinner. Bring your own lunch and breakfast. You must be a DNT member to join.

Gear to bring:

• Bike
• Helmet (required)
• Sleeping bag (these DNT cabins do not have duvets etc.)
• Warm clothes and rain jacket
• Basic repair tools, pump etc.
• Water, snacks
