Have you read this months bike? There is an interesting article in there about riding to the Artic Circle.

They went to time it with the summer solstice so they could see the midnight sun. THey also went on teh premise that norway in the summer is like England in the Spring, Turns out that that statement isnt entirely accurate. (minus 17 in some areas !!!!)
