Process of tracing and monitoring the route
Midnight sun gravel
We ride with bicycle every single km of the route in different seasons, sometimes in different sessions and sometimes all together when time allows.
The routes are developed combining various platforms. We test navigation with Strava app, Ride with GPS and with Garmin devices.
We tried also to upload the GPX in varius platforms to see how they behave; we discovered that some systems effects the route course due to in-build algorithms. Occasionally this happens also when selecting "maintaining original route" during importing of GPX (komoot issue)
The GPX we are providing to you is clearly tested and I can guarantee 100% accuracy
PS. Forestry activity sometimes affects the routes and force us to perform changes during the year before the start
You will be crossing occasionally private property; this is an unsupported ride done individually (Not a race) and for this reason, be respect-full and enjoy the unique privilege of Everyman's right
