DNF GRVL

We are enthusiastic to invite you to Dirty No Man's land of Follo (short: DNF GRVL)

The DNF GRVL will be organised as an adventure ride of 100 miles (160k) on the most beautiful gravel roads in Follo, Norway's Toscana.

The route and will be sent as a GPS-file to participants 24h before the start, which give little time for recon. 98% of the ride will be ridable, but expect a few challenges on the road.

You can ride your own pace, and all riders shall be self-supported, and follow traffic rules. No prices for fastest riders.

There will be a water stop and another snack stop along the route, and we'll finish it off with a meal and drinks at Hvervenbukta. All finishers get a finishers prize (Deadline at 7 pm. )

It will be an epic day!

Start time: 07.30 am @Hvervenbukta

Estimated time of arrival: 4-7 pm @Hvervenbukta

Time cut: Not really, but food is served at finish until 7 pm.

Distance: 100 miles

Ride type: Social ride with free speed (follow traffic rules.) We start together, but surely groups and riders will be split apart. Feel free to partner up with others and make a group.

Official feeding stops:  Main feed stop halfway in Kråkstad, and another water stop after 86 miles.

Trails and roads: Mostly gravel, tractor roads and some county roads with tarmac. Be aware, there will be a few sections of more challenging surface, you might have to walk a few times on those sections. Estimated elevation gain of 2000 meters.

GPS: There will be very limited road signs, and no marshals. So all riders need a well-working gps unit. The route with a gpx-file will be provided next Friday, two days up front.

Open roads: The route will follow open roads and trails, so remember to be nice and respectful to others using the roads.

Mechanical help: Riders shall be self-supported and cannot expect mechanical help along the way. We will still have support personell before the start and at the feed stop on Kråkstad.

Insurance: As specified upon registration, all riders need to take responsibility for their own safety. We highly recommend to check your insurance policy so you know you are well covered if an incident should occur. Let's pray not, but better safe than sorry.

DNF GRVL is open for all riders, as long as you're capable and ready for a long day on the saddle. We recommend a Gravel or CX bike, but you ride what you have/want.

NB: If Covid restrictions makes us have to cancel, you will get your entry fee refunded (except administration fee of NOK 30).

All riders will receive instruction with the latest covid regulations to follow during the event.
