I'm almost finished Robert Goldstein's Riding with Reindeer, his funny and well written account of his 2007 solo ride, on a Bike Friday, through Finland to Lapland and arctic Norway. His work's the most accurate account I've read, so far, about what it's like to do solo touring. A good companion read as I've been putting together my solo New Zealand "baby bike" ride.
I'm hoping I don't get to deal with as many mosquitoes as Robert did, and that the rainy weather I get is a lot less than he got. I'd like to ride with this guy sometime. He's got a good attitude. Makes me want to ride in Finland sometime, myself.
But first, land of the Kiwis.
