Norway Day 5
Down to 5 last night, cold does things to your bladder, so together it was a 4am wee just as the sun was peaking over the mountains.
I made a drink about 8 the sun was now heating the tent, so we decided to say put for the morning in our wild camp spot, as we had just over 30km to cycle. Jenni was brave and went for a dip in the…
Matthew Norway and Michel1 Comment-
“After paying for our pitch, the owner came out just as we were chatting about where to lay the tent and offered us a cabin as rain was coming. Such kindness and a warm night.” – That’s how cyclists are treated at times. They know you have worked hard to get here and appreciate your efforts. I bet if you turn up in a car you’d be in a…

Norway Day 4
After a restful night, we set off about 11am a new route set to take some of the climbing out of the parcours.
The first 15km were on the coastal road past huge factories and a port, busy loading bulk carriers. After the port our first tunnel under a km long. Lights and safety jackets on, felt safe but the noise was loud.…

Keep them coming—really enjoying your daily field reports. Just a heads-up: the section you’re heading into now is one of the toughest in Norway. The stretch between Flekkefjord and Egersund is known as The Devil’s Teeth—a relentless series of 200-metre climbs that rise and fall for nearly 80km. It’s a test of endurance, but the climbs are…

Norway Day 2
The question of the day is? Are we riding the hills of Norway to train for riding the Cols of Switzerland or have our rides in Switzerland helped us to reach the summits today. Either way neither country does flat very well.
Yes the veiws are worth it, the legs will get use to it but to be honest for a couple of 60 year… Read more

Good stuff! Hopefully, your legs will get used to the ups and downs after a week. But certainly, flat roads are limited in southern Norway!

Lake forest up and a train that made me jump. Not a bad day 1 in Norway 😉
All the travelling, our week in Denmark would Norway live up to our expectations?
The first 20km did not, busy roads, rain and extra time to find things in the supermarket. This was to be expected in a new country, so Norway was forgiven.
We turned off the main… Read morekomoot.com
