Thanks Ken, It’s remarkable that they prioritise people with large suitcases over cyclists. There should be a designated train compartment for bikes, especially since Trollstigen, Norway’s most famous cycling road, is next door. You would have thought they might have considered this.

I’m excited to share a new premium gravel route, originally scouted by local bikepacker Knut Myking from Ål. When he sent it over, it looked too good to pass up. I made a few minor adjustments to suit my setup and rode it over two full days, though I’d recommend three if you want time to explore or take things slower.
Over the past few days,…

This route looks very tempting! Where approximately on the route is that 3,5 km hike-a-bike section?

1. Is it normal to not be able to reserve bike spots (especially on a line where VY says it is mandatory)? It appears possible to reserve a spot departing from Trondheim on these same trips. Oslo to Dombås, you can reserve a bike spot – contact customer service if you have an issue.
2. Are these Aug 18 trains are likely to have space for…

Do the High Voltage towers come with USB ports to charge devices? Can leave the powerbank at home :P!

The weather has been incredible the last few weeks with temperatures at night that I never experienced before in the mountains and by the fjords. I slept without my sleeping bag on several occasions. This usually doesn’t happen! It’s a glitch in the matrix. If you coming to Norway in the coming weeks be prepared for all weather and…

I have been watching the Norwegian weather with alarm over the day-after-day forecasts of 20 degree (F) above averages across the central region between Voss and Bergen. The anthropocentric climate impacts are no longer debatable.

Be warned Trollstigen’s road access is uncertain right now. It has closed twice in the past few days. Pay attention to information online if you plan to cycle it in the coming days: https://www.vegvesen.no/trafikk/fjelloverganger/1014868548?lng=7.68034&lat=62.35785&zoom=9

Second attempt at Trollstigen this year; weather report says rain, somideally we’d like to split up the Åndalsnes – Geiranger leg so that the Trollstigen climb itself will be around 4pm. Is that a very bad idea with regards to tourist traffic, or will the bad forecast scare away the camper vans? 🤞🏻😅
