Ride to Ride: an adventure of gravel, bikepacking, and snowboarding through the Norwegian Alps that you must not miss

Ride to Ride is the new movie starring Henna Palosaari and is a truly inspiring adventure that combines gravel, bikepacking, and snowboarding through the Norwegian Alps. A perfect video to motivate anyone looking for ways to break free from the routine.

Bikepacking, snow, and fjords: Ride to Ride shows another way to travel by bike 

The story follows Palosaari and her travel companion, Karin Ekman, on a 10-day mission of bikepacking and splitboarding through the Sunnmøre Alps on the west coast of Norway. The approach is to leave the car behind, load the bike with backcountry gear, and let the slow pace of pedaling dictate the journey. A seemingly simple change, moving only by bike, that completely conditions the experience, from logistics to the relationship with the environment.

Beyond the spectacular images, Ride to Ride focuses on the process. On planning, waiting, and constant adaptation to conditions. The film captures moments of doubt, such as the initial delay due to rain, and others of total reward, with up to 40 centimeters of fresh powder snow, some of the best descents of the entire season according to Palosaari herself.

The film also leaves space for a more personal reflection. The protagonist talks about how this type of travel helps reconnect with the essentials, stepping away from routine, haste, and the constant feeling of having to "perform." Being where you are, doing one thing at a time, and accepting that it is enough. An idea very much aligned with the philosophy that more and more cyclists are seeking in gravel and bikepacking.

Ride to Ride is, in short, a short documentary that mixes gravel cycling, winter adventure, and mountain sports, demonstrating that, with the right attitude and equipment, the seasons can overlap much more than we think.
