Me and a mate will be travelling through Sweden and Norway on road bikes around that time and a quick search for Rosentorp dropped a pin conveniently just North of Malmo but now I see Orsa is a lot further north out in track country and the Furthest North we are planning is Stockholm before heading West to Oslo but it looks like a great base camp so I'll be watching out for reports and pics of this meet and hopefully have a run out next year on the DR.

I'm going to be in Stockholm for a week or so at that time visiting my son and would love to have been able to come but I'll be on 4 wheels rather than 2 and with my wife and her now getting a little elderly parents. So, not to be this year but I'll put it on my watch list for 2019. Definitely post some pictures up afterwards.

There might actually be more than one Rosentorp in Sweden, I have not checked this. The one where the meeting takes place is in fact a little bit north of Orsa on lake Silja, a goid days ride from Stockholm. It is a bit of a detour if you want to go to Oslo, but the area around lake Siljan is very worth a visit!

With just a bit more than one and half months before the event I managed to register and get one of the 25 available places. Which, btw, I was expected to be long gone by this time.
I hope there will be others too. If not, more place for my bike

One quick question, how is the gas station situation on route? Meaning two things: all night opening hours or just by day, and cash or card? I know maybe a dumb question but better safe than sorry.
Thank you and see you there!

Ok, maybe the question seemed dumb in the age of google search but I feel a bit disappointed that the organizers do not answer too much on the thread. Especially to people who are coming and ask a question which can be a ‘life saver’ - no one wants to sit a night at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere because it is closed and the tank has only fumes.

On other note, in case that someone has the same dilemma - according to Dr. Google if you go on the smaller roads and you are far from a big city there are few 24h petrol stations, the rest have no info or they are closed between 9 - 10 PM to 5 - 6:30 AM. So better fill-up in time or have a 5L can for emergency.
According to the same source, usage of credit/debit cards should be no problem, although is not clear if in remote places it is popular. Usually people are talking about big cities and tourist destinations. And my experiene with Denmark, so far, is that sometimes I had to pay extra fees because I used a foreign card, plus my own bank fees, and there were places where cash was still the only option.

Maybe the hosts will be so generous to clear this thing with a short answer. After all, people outside Sweden will have to count on some good mileage on Swedish soil and depending on the tank size and consumption 2-3 or more stops for the much needed juice.
