Well yeah, reindeers. It can be the most dull part of the trip for some, but there are lots of pretty forests and lakes, and the open landscape and fells in the north. And the experience of riding through Lapland can be quite different than any other road race like this, it can be remote like the mtb races. I think there was only two places to stop at during 320km on the last day of Ruska ride across Finland. Would have been even less with wrong timing. Here's Mikkos photos from that. Southern Finland is more dense.
Mikko takes good pictures. It looks pleasant enough but, as you say, not so exciting. In decent weather that might be pretty good. What might the weather be like - what is the risk of a week of headwinds or a week of solid rain...?
