Instead of Upsete to Myrdal train station you should have cycled to Gudvangen, taken the ferry to Flåm and then cycled the Rallarvei from there. Much more scenic :D

I love your videos and the insight they give to the countries through which you travel. What I miss is any interaction you have with the people of the regions through which you travel. It's as if you are making this journey alone, and without any interaction with the people you meet along the way. Or, who may help you in one way or another along the way. Is this on purpose?

Very interesting and a nice succinct video. Its almost exactly the set up I would expect you would need for a self supported expedition touring trip, taking in unpaved roads and tracks that you find in the majority of the world, or if you want to avoid congested fast highways typical of Europe, North America and richer countries. The modern Gravel/bikepacking and older steel frame 700c classic tourers just dont seem strong enough or have good fixed rack options for anything more than supper minimalist carry or exclusively paved roads depending.

What kind of wood burning stove are you using? I have a SoloStove which I love when wild camping.
@Tarahhh3 күн бұрын
It might be a little too late now, but just so you know, wild camping isn't allowed in Denmark. You can get some pretty hefty fines if you're caught, so it's worth knowing. It's a damn shame that we don't have the allemannsretten like Sweden and Norway, but it's likely because Denmark is so small. The shelters are up for use, but that's really the only place you're allowed to camp aside from campgrounds.

I appreciate your videos as I learn more about touring and the Rohloff setup. Is having to remove the back fender for a flat repair typical of Rohloff setups, this type of fender, or how the Rohloff is adapted into the Ogre frame?
@RollingExistence11 күн бұрын
The rohloff needs some way to tension the chain, so it's a problem that all bicycles that achieve rohloff compatibility via a sliding rear dropout will have. Other bicycle frames use an eccentric bottom bracket or some other method to allow for chain tensioning and they won't have the same problem.

Nicely filmed and endured! Its easy to get caught out by the weather in the highlands and i live here! Weather forecasts can be wildly inaccurate.... ive set out in what should have been a lovely spring day...and had rain/hale/sleet and snow, i actually turned into a cycling snowman on the hills. came home and was so frozen i could hardly get the key in the door. It is beautiful but always have good gear to combat the worst of the weather- which you sensibly did. 😁

If you're frame bag is collecting water you can actually cut a little hole in the bottom and that will let it drain. If you want to be fancy you can use a grommet system. Which you can get at almost any hardware store
@RollingExistenceАй бұрын
We ended up stabbing a hole in both to get them to drain. Ideally, frame bags would be waterproof considering they are meant to be used on bikepacking trips outdoors, but that doesn't seem to be a priority for most manufacturers. Ortlieb and Rockgeist now both make frame bags that are waterproof but we haven't tried them.
