Google Maps lists 3 or so Sporting Goods stores but that may not be suitable for what you need.
How about contacting the sponsors of the event? Maybe they know somebody who knows somebody that can help.

Reply to All routes on the same map?
but is it possible to just pile a bunch of gps files for a number of routes (road, gravel, national routes, etc.) into a map that you are actively planning?
maybe start here: https://www.vegvesen.no/en/traffic-information/traffic-information/national-cycle-routes/download-the-routes-in-gpx-format/
I use RWGPS too but have not experimented…

I am going to be carrying the Big Agnes Gold Camp UL 3.
I am too old and arthritic to be crawling around on my hands and knees.
I needed something that I could (almost) stand up in.

Mike Page replied to the discussion Do you carry cash? in the forum Does anyone know? 6 months ago
I’ve had the same question. I haven’t touched cash (I can almost say ‘or even credit cards’) since my visit to Norway last year. I maintained the same practice even in the US on my return. Cashless is the way to go.
But this year’s trip will probably require some campground visits where having to pay for sites & facilities like showers seems to…

Reply to Prepare paneers as check-In luggage
Hi, Anna
You did not mention how you plan to get all of those items TO Oslo.
I’ll soon be flying to/from Oslo w/bike and gear too. My plan is to pack everything into check-in and carry-on luggage (bike separately, of course), check into a hotel for a couple of days and use the service that Matthew listed previously (https://wanda.space) to store…

Satellite photos for route and wildcamping research
I’ve been concerned about being able to find wild camping spots along my route for some time. The best advice I have found so far is(includes Matthew’s) is to use Google maps.
But I think I have found higher res photography from Norway that makes google maps look myopic.
