Yeah it will be interesting to see what the winter is like here. Longer distances on ice and not just along the coast do sound good.
I did aninteresting trip from Helsinki to Vaasa following what was one of the first proper roads in Finland something like 700 years ago, which is now mostly a gravel road. I could really only find the middle part of it and closer to Vaasa rode just on some nice roads roughly following the old maps. This was my route

And in Vaasa, riding around the lake Pilvilampi is a nice short gravel ride, the Botnia Cyklingen route is a good road ride. When I used to live there, I often rode to the island called Raippaluoto, there's a nice cafe in Svedjehamn and it's a Unesco world heritage site. -
Nelson seems to be pretty strict on who will get a place, in terms of how capable they seem to be to cope with the environment, many don't get a place because of this, so that would be the first thing to think about. And still there''s lots of people who don't finish, often because you do have to push hard just to keep going and it still might take too long, but it's hard for me at least to say what the limit is for being fast enough to finish. It's more about the ability to keep going, all day, day after day, than FTP. So yeah, this doesn't help much.
Hah, yeah, guess one could get stuck in traffic in there too.
I met two bulls fighting on a narrow road on the side of a mountain last year, was a bit awkward to try to talk them to stop for a while to let me pass but luckily did manage to convince them.
