On July 29 this year, after descending the Vistdalsheia into Eresfjord, I looked to the right towards Eikesdalen. The mountains were completely covered in dark clouds. That's why I decided not to cycle the Aursjovegen. I ended the day soaking wet in Oppdal. Thanks for bringing back that memory and for showing us the Aursjovegen.
You made the right decision it's not worth going over in really bad weather. Better to wait and come back another day and you'll enjoy it 10 times more knowing you had to waited a long time for this experience!
Amazing ride. I'm planning a Norway bike trip this summer - considerably shorter, but hopefully rewarding. As a long-time Norway resident, and now citizen, it's about time. Btw, it's LindeSnes :-)
Watching your video, makes me miss Norway. been there 10 yrs. ago, and visited some fjord, and really love it.And wishing I could go back someday💖 Thank you for your beautiful , stunning Video⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Norway is just my most beautiful Country in this entire world. Most specially the mountains, the fjord, non ending watterfalls,the best path to hike. I wish I can have the experience of Biking also❤
What a fantastic episode! You had me laughing out loud a couple of times, and I think I agree with you, the world's most beautiful ride. Can't wait for the other episodes.
Been binge watching your videos recently and you are fast becoming my favourite cycling channel. Those views, omg. It's been a dream of mine to visit Norway with my bike for a while. I have a friend in Oslo who may just have to act as base camp one day.
Hi Matthew, thank you for another beautiful experience. My wife and I have been waiting for Norway to open up to USA travelers since the pandemic started. We will tour the arctic coast via bicycle as soon as possible. Thank you for all your help and suggestion through your excellent videos. Take care and all the best, Steve & Jan
Brother, I salute you! You have combined wonderful adventure with striking videography-two impressive efforts in their own-and made a masterpiece. Thank you.
An amazing adventure. This truly is some of the best scenery in the world. The joy you are experiencing really comes through. Your interesting commentary effortlessly keeps the attention of the viewer. This looks a great journey to follow.
This is adorable, thank you!!! I would like to cycle this route either this or next summer. I have one question that is veryvery imprtant to me: can you roughly quantify what the amount of car traffic near you was like? i know its hard to answer, but its even harder to find out online :). Best wishes and thank you for any help.
Hi, you will find a complete comprehensive overview of the whole route. Detailing any busy roads, dangerous tunnels, etc. It's part of the membership on cyclenorway.com - cyclenorway.com/routes/fjord-norway/
Hey Matthew, first of all thank you for your amazing content and your way of doing that, really entertaining. I was wondering if I can download this route somewhere to put it on my Garmin? We want to cycle almost exactly the same route in August. Thank you!
The whole route including all Points of interest (ferries timetables, hotels/campsites, food shops, etc) is available on Cycle Norway's membership page. You can also ask questions in our membership forum. If you're planning to cycle in Norway this August I think it's worth the investment. cyclenorway.com/routes/norse-all-road-series/overview/fjord-norway/
I just got this channel suggested by youtube when watching some GCN-videoes. I found those to be quite good, but I mean this is outstanding quality Matthew. And so few subscribers! Do you usually work for National Geographic or what🙂? Thank you so much for sharing this on you tube, just for all us to see, for free, actually.. Are you doing all this and riding all alone or have a partner on the way that we don't see?
Just me on a bike with a small drone, gopro and point and shoot camera. The footage is not very professional but I spend a lot of time on edit which does some magic. I appreciate that you appreciate the work gone in to these videos!
This hooked me up and definately wanna do this ride in 2024. Would you say, it's better going from north to south, or do you think the other direction would be equally good? I rode in norway this year the first time ever, during a round trip, but only did Kristiansand to Sandefjord. And that already blew my mind
Absolutely stunning. An incredible ride and beautifully narrated and edited. I'd love to do this ride but question if I'd be fit enough. I recently completed the Mae Hong Son Loop here in Thailand. I rode with a traditional touring set-up that consisted of 600 km with 10,000 metres of climbing with plenty of climbs of 1,000 metres with steep gradients. However, that took me 14 days, including three rest days. Realistically I think much over 1,200 metres of climbing and 100 km a day would be too much for me. With those kinds of limitations do you think it's possible to do this ride over something like four weeks and still have sufficient places to stay/set up camp? I'd really appreciate your opinion on this as after watching your video I now want to do this ride next year in the summer. Thanks Matthew. JP the old guy... but still giving it a go!
The series plans to show you in detail what to expect and the options you have along the way. I'll also do a video after the series in February/March with more practical details about the climbs and route. From reading what you wrote my gut feeling is yes you can do this over 4 weeks. Some of the mountain passes have cabins at the top to break the journey up. But as I mentioned all this info is coming in the videos ahead.
@@matthewnorway Thanks Matthew. That's brilliant. I've already arranged to do LEGOG with a friend in May and now intend to do this ride on the back of it. I'll watch with interest all the up and coming videos in the series. Take care and ride safe. JP
Hey Matthew! I want do this trip in the beginning of september and would love to have a gpx of the route. Is there some way to download it? Edit: Replacement bus from Oslo to Oppdal. Seems like I can't get my bike there until the 5th of September. Is it possible (harder/easier) to go from Stavanger up to Oppdal?
I have a detailed route from Stavanger to Oppdal that features many P.O.I's and plenty of information regarding accommodation, food options, etc. The price is 15 euros and that money goes to supporting the Cycle Norway organisation. Send me your email address and you will receive a PayPal request. Once paid a link will be sent to your email where you can access the route, and download the gps file, etc. And yes going from Stavanger to Oppdal is totally fine and perhaps better as you have the prevailing winds on your back.
seen this video few days ago and after getting my holiday sorted i end up today buying tickets in norway) now when i have a destination and big motivation i need just a route) do you have by any chance the route saved as a file?)
Hi. I tryed to rech you by e-mail and Instagram :) but I guess it is just business pages. I really need an advice about which part to take to get most of Norway... I'm lost actually. An advice? Anyone? :)
Hi Matthew! Ive been looking to do more or less the same route as you. Ive been planning for i while but i havent got the best rodes for each step of the ride. Do you have like a GPX file of your route or could i maybe get in contact with you on email or some other social media to get some information?
Hi Kim, you can check my strava account (send me a request www.strava.com/athletes/33807517) and find the full journey on there. I will provide a live Q&A on YT in March and April where people can ask questions directly to me. Them dates will appear here in the coming weeks.
I never get tired of vacation in my own country 🇳🇴 Beauty around every corner ❤️

If you have a friend in Oslo then there really is no excuse ;). Get them flights booked for next summer!
Simply beautiful 👏
It get's better in EP. 2 ;)

Great to hear Steve, I hope everything opens up for next summer. ☀️ The Arctic coast is so incredible to ride! (but I guess you know that already ;)

All your videos are like endless summaries of something else?
"Candy store"! What the flip, it's sweet shop! A true English speaker never uses the vernacular of the colonies.....dear boy.
Może kiedyś spotkamy się gdzieś na trasie w Norwegii.
Maybe!

I have time to cover 500 km on my bike upcoming summer on Norwegian west coast. Which part should I choose?
cyclenorway.com/routes/atlantic-coast-route/overview/bergen-trondheim/
Thank you very much. I think I would have to split that into 2 pcs 900km is to much in one summer@@matthewnorway
Hi.What kind of bicycle helmet did you use?
Sweet protection mips
Is there a way to see the exact route ( gpx maybe ) without paying 25 euro ? ;)
It's very expensive for this type of website.
👍🙂

Are you funding this yourself? I want to do a similar trip but I can't quite figure out how I'm going to find the funds for it.
