Not my house. It'll be full of my family and they are annoying.

You can hire MTB or road bikes.

To be fair, Ben nails it.

Rovaniemi, great riding and you get to see Santa at his home

I'm flying in and out of Rovamiemi (22-29 Dec) but will be spending most of the time in Levi

Mainly a Santa and skiing holiday, hopefully with some snow activities like snowmobiling. I'd like a go on a fatbike but I don't know if I'd have time as it's a family holiday

Going to be very expensive but I'm really looking forward to it

We're in Rovaniemi on the 27th and 28th then heading to Oulu and then Helsinki.

I don't know if I'll be cycling either, but like you, I'd like to try it.

I'm actually considering spending a few weeks in Malaga every year. But for further info on that see the "Richard G bitches about the weather" thread. :oops:

I go to Malaga area for a week every Spring. I've often thought it would be a marvellous place for a bikepacking holiday in our winter.

There's still a risk of snow on the hills but temperatures are obviously a lot higher than at home.

Cheap flights aplenty - even once you factor in taking a bike and kit.
