How I as a mountain biker live and love my life with chronic pain
“Your spine looks like a 65-year old’s. Your discs are degenerating one by one, two of them are already really bad. It is never going to heal.”

Mountain bikes, midnight sun and white beaches – a road trip to the North of Norway
Almost ten years have passed since I visited the beautiful mountains in the North of Norway. The midnight sun seems to have put a spell on me and ever since, I have felt the urge to go back. With the van packed with bikes, gear, food and expectations, we started a 24 hour drive up towards our first stop. In this article I will share some of our stops and rides.
Vanlife and mountain bikes
The first thing I do when I wake up in the van is to open the side door, brew coffee and lean back in bed and enjoy the view. Other than birds singing it is usually completely quiet and I can smell the coffee and feel the fresh air on my face. Our van gives me so much freedom, adventures and simplicity in life.
