Hi all,
I’m looking for recommendations for the best 650b tires to ride the Mjølkevegen 19-22 August (Vinstra to Gol). I have three sets of Rene Herse tires, but am not opposed to buying something else. Currently mounted on my Seven Evergreen gravel bike are 38mm Loup Loup Pass smooth / all-road tires. I also have this same tire in 42mm (the…

Hi. I haven’t ridden all of Mjølkevegen, but I have ridden parts of it. And a whole lot of other similar roads in the area. I’ve ridden them on Rene Herse Bon Jon (700x35mm slicks, measured to 38 on my rims). That was great! The roads are mostly really nice, so you don’t really need to go a whole lot wider to have a nice ride
But I don’t really…

Hi Christian. Thanks very much for your thoughts! I’m glad to hear you were happy with the performance of the Bon Jon slicks on these types of roads. That corroborates what I’ve previously read.

Hi! I have been 15 days by car in fiords part of Norway. The 21 of july i will start my 3 weeks journey with bike. I start from bodo and end in Tromso, but im sure i will make a round, but k dont know if its more beautiful go to northkapp or is better to go close to Finland. Any suggestions?
Also the weather scares me a bit and i questions…

First of all: Don’t overthink it. As you mentioned, the weather is unpredictable, and it can change very often within 3 weeks. Right now, they predict snow at 700 m in the north for the weekend 🙃
Go for Lofoten! First, the only alternative to go north is the busy E6. Second, Lofoten are beautiful in all kind of weather. I’ve been there twice and…

Wow! First of all thanks so much of the complete and described answer. I really appreciate it and consider all the options you gave me💖 specially taken a hutigurten to come back to the flight point of the end of the trip. I’m called to go to the last village of Norway ( kirkeness), I don’t know why 😅
Tussen takk!

Hi guys! can someone recommend a good, simple, userfriendly gps navigation device for touring norway? -paved and unpaved roads? cheers andreas

iPhone + INIU Power Bank, Ultra Mini 45W.
Powerbank provided your bike doesn’t have a hub dynamo.
App: Koomot or ridewithgps.com

I’ve been using Komoot on my phone on a handlebar mount for many years. It’s not ideal for the phone’s camera lenses, and navigation will drain your battery very quick.
If you turn off navigation, you’ll have to memorize the turns or stop very often. (This is not a problem in the far north, where you can follow a road for hundreds of…

I’ve tried to use the gpx but it doesn’t work with Garmin or Google Maps. Does anyone have one that’s working and can switch the .gpx?

Which gpx file are you talking about (which route)?

Hi everyone,
I’m having a great time cycling up the eurovelo 1 and Matthew’s maps and advice have been invaluable.
I’m in Tromso now and trying to decide whether to do the Havoysund alternative or the traditional NorthKapp tunnel route. I’m leaning towards the Havoysund alternative but just wondered if any of you have done these routes and could…

Hi Jenny,
I cycled Havøysund – Olderfjord a year ago, and I can only recommend the trip. I started in Havøysund (after disembarking Havila ferry) in the morning and arrived in Olderfjord in the afternoon. The route follows the rugged coast line most of the time but includes some climbs into the fjell. That far north, no trees give shelter, and…

Thanks Michel! You’ve sold me on it. It sounds alot better than doing ‘the’ tunnel. And yes, I plan to get the boat to Kholleford and cycle to the lighthouse after northcape…following your previous advice. Thanks again!!!!!!

We are on our way at Milkway (Melkevegen) to Vinstra. We left the car in Flåm and biked from there. It is seems impossible to get public transport with bikes the 1-4 days around our arrival in Vinstra. So we asked AI if a return on bike gravel more than 50% over Lom to Flåm is possible. Including ferry is ok. It came up with a route:
