This is next-level bikepacking! Bridging those remote roads with serious hikes takes real dedication. Norway’s wild landscapes are perfect for pushing the limits- can’t wait to see where you take us next. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure!

Oslo is doing a lot to get rid of cars. So much, in fact, that the rush our problems are getting bigger, since some people still depend on cars to get everyday logistics to work, and with less road space and less parking, the problems increase even if the number of cars decrease.

Another amazing video. Many thanks

Hi Matthew, avid watcher here. Apologies if you mention this in one of your videos but I hope you can help. I'm planning to cycle the bottom of Lofoten to Nordkapp. I will be flying from the UK. Which airports are best options to fly into for Lofoten and then Nordkapp (best priced ideally) Any tips would be welcomed. Thanks!

Wonderful

Another great video! Random question, what helmet do you have?

So, when Trolstigen will open, you can make a most scenic route starting eg in Stryn trough Gamle Strynefjellsvegen to Grotli, than Geiranger, Eidsdal than ⛴️ to Linge, Valdal, Trollstigen, Romsdalen, Dombas, Oppdal, Gjora and down to Sunndal trough Sunndalsvegen :) it is about 440km/7500up.

I am from a village close to Måløy and I agree it is a nice place to ride. But at the other side it is scary also. The roads are small and many drivers are not used to cyclists so you really have to be careful!!

Thank you very much, Matthew, for giving these pieces of advice and "instructions". We see and experience more pollution from tourists, especially at the most iconic destinations. As you may know, there is a discussion going on in Norway whether "Allemannsretten" should be applied to foreigners due to all the pollution seen at the popular tourist attractions. Of course, some Norwegians also pollute, but most of us are familiar with the rules. Let's hope your video sets a new standard of behaviour. I really appreciate your attempt to inform foreigners about wild camping. Excellent work! BTW -love your videos!

Absolutely stunning! Your channel is truly a gift. After hiking across numerous boulder fields in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I cannot imagine doing it carrying a bike. Looking forward to cycling and hiking across Norway in the near future. Cheers.

Would Canon Grail be suitable bike for riding the Rallervegen in Norway ?

Nice video but really obnoxious music

Please bring some food next time.

Great, great video. One of the best I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

What a great idea and that looks like an amazing place to explore atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

I got exactely in the same situation in July this year, but from Ovre Ardal direction. Didn't even try to cross over the snow. Yet the road is so amazing I'm gonna try again.

That was madness to do a 10-miler on top of a 70-mile ride in one day. I expect you have learned a massive lesson. Take your time Matthew enjoyment . Spectacular route and film, really enjoy your stuff, and you inspired me to my own Norway cycling trip I'm just back from. Rallarvegen was amazing, among many others. Easy, manageable distances!

love it. It's also nice to have somebody with you, you can blame for anything going wrong :D

Thanks for making it extremely obvious why you should only do trips like this in wintertime, with xc skis!

Wonderful video, brilliant adventure. That rock field with a bike on your back... Amazed you could get back on the bike the next day!

This probably the one loop trip I’ll never take. I am in awe seeing your adventures in Norway. There are many of us who are wondering - what will he think of next?

Awesome. Just awesome!

That was awesome Matthew. You continue to set new standards for cycling in Norway and cycling generally. Very impressive on so many levels. Jay

Just amazing, thanks Matthew

outstanding content, some of the best!! thanks.

What a fantastic feat!

Brilliant musical score! I laughed out loud at the 7 minute mark. Thanks for another beautiful video.

Absolutely magnificent. Again, your sacrifices have been noted. 😎👍

is it really hard to explain why we like the pain? or the views, feeling, and FREEDOM simply outweighs it all?

Epic adventure

Only watched it for the horses ....

I'm pretty sure I invented that bike carrying system with an old rucksack in the late 80's 😊 Another excellent adventure and film, thankyou Matthew of Norway ❤

How many people have died attempting this ride/hike with their mummified corpses piled up along the way? Obviously you survived and I am happy for you.

nice one... but you missed the scenic route over Glittertind. but it wouldbe better to hike the other way with bikes - its easier to go up than down when its steep. ..maybe it could be possible to take the wheels of so the bike package was more compact and easier to handle in rough terrain... maybe with the frame vertikal and higher.

Great video, but I do miss Alvin and the Chipmunks

You’re living life, man! Thanks for sharing your experiences, makes me feel, even in a small way, I’m there living it too!🙏💪

Fabulous! Made my day! When i was 12, my family and i camped at Spiterstulen then walked over what felt like an endless boulder field on the way to the top of Galdhopiggen. Happy days. Thanks for sharing your wondeful adventures. Lovely waffles, too. Greetings from Devon.

🙂 Made my day...

The DnT /Norwegian 'hiking' called tourist club has announced this year, that many foreigners had sign up😃

awesome footage, I love it❤

Did this crazy uphill week ago, it is definitely one of the toughest, my garmin was showing more than 10% all the time (beside the one flat section). I don’t recommend this if you are already after 200km and 2500 of climbing that day ;)

Thanks for showing this! I made it on my road bike with 28mm. Had to flats on gravel flat section on top. Uphill is really tough one with bags on bike. But it is definitely worth it!

We did Aursjovegen loop 3 days ago, what a nice day out! We did the complete loop (150 km, 2300 vertical) in a day, a bit tired at the end but well worth it! Today we did Tour de Dovre, also a superb loop to do! The Atlantic Road we did last year, it was quite horrible with the trailers and camper vans….

Lofotens beauty allways makes me cry. Amazing footage. 👍😎

Very nice 👍🙂

This is SO good! I am flabbergasted! The footage, the views, the Lofoten history, the geology part, and on top of that a brilliant poem, all crowned by a deep felt narration. You must be the best embassador to Norway! This morning your video raised me up several notches in mood. Thank you very much, Matthew!

what kind of bike did u hav? pure road or gravel?

Hei Matthew. Looks great! Now that my back is working again (bloody back - two summers in a row it's locked up painfully ) I'm off to do this route tomorrow. On the map of the route you have plotted cycling the west side of the river between Kvam and Vinstra, but on the video you appear to cycle on the east side of the river. I'm inclined to stay on the east side. Is that best?

The loop is part of Fjord Norway which I was lucky to cycle last year. I still think of it regularly. It was a dream and I had a strong tailwind up there. Downside was the loop came to an end too quickly. 😄
