Trollstigen, a Drone and 100km of Pure Beauty

[@Buzzard1968]

Truly staggeringly beautiful. My brother John and I planned this for 2020 but covid came along and stopped us. In 2022 we decided on a tour of the Alps with plans for Norway on hold for 2023. Our John, 57, devastatingly and suddenly, died just a week before our Alps trip, our bikes rides together ended forever. And my second brother Tony, 41, died on his bike in 2007. Both of them gone. I shed tears watching this. My heart burns with pain that they won't be with me when I do it next year. But I will do it next year. Thank you.

People live on in our memories and our hearts, my friend. They will be there. Ride on.

[@Buzzard1968]

It's inspiring to see so many cyclists come together to conquer such a famous and challenging road in Norway. The drone footage added another level of stunning visuals to the already breathtaking scenery. Great job capturing the essence of this epic cycling adventure! 🙌🤩

[@matthewnorway]

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

[@steved43]

Wow! Stunning!

[@ritalang6964]

I only can say wow wow wow🤩, incredible what a stunning shots/views 👍 this ride was out of this world ☺️ respect for all the cyclists and you Matthew for making this real and taking us from all around the world with you on this epic event, with this video. We were at Trollstigen a year to early Sept. 2022 🤣🤣

[@AndrewBroadbent-dr8wb]

No words can describe the beauty. Thank you.

[@shahbazahmedkhan3659]

By far one of the most serene and spectacular cycling video so well captured that few scenes are worth an award. The score added icing on the cake and I enjoyed every bit of it. I literally got lost into it and still there. Wow!

[@matthewnorway]

Really nice to hear, thanks!

[@htjify]

That was amazing. Well done.

[@alanpage8911]

Lucky 43 pioneer group riders! Wow! Good bike mojo to get the weather right.

[@matthewnorway]

It's always sunny at Trollstigen. 😅

[@myoldtractorshed]

Thank you.

[@TerjeMathisen]

I did this ride on my MTB, starting and ending in Åndalsnes, 14 years ago. On the way up I noticed that my disc brakes needed adjustment (I had almost no braking ability) so I decided to do that before going back downhill. It turned out that the brake pads were actually all gone! I had to ride down again with my seat very low, one foot on a pedal and the other foot trailing/dragging along the asphalt. Since this was in the middle of the day, in July, I also had to avoid all the cars, trucks and buses. When I got back down I rode directly to a local bike shop and got my brakes fixed! It was still a beautiful trip, made even more memorable by that little technical issue...

[@matthewnorway]

I guess they say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

That was truly breathtaking thank you 👍

[@jamesrea329]

Wish I could like this a few hundred times! ❤💙💜💛💚🧡🤎🩷🩵

[@ChrisWilliams-pu8pj]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@sventhomsen7759]

Amazing fottage!🚲

[@alexmorgan3435]

Beautiful video. Best I have seen on the Trollstigen. Even better that it showed cyclists riding up it. A++++.

[@jeffroussell]

On top of your regular videos, more like this would be incredible. The length of the vid, drone footage, plus tidbits of info are fantastic.

[@dave1852]

You've outdone yourself Matthew! Unbelievable... Can't wait to ride this myself.

[@janmccann8081]

Simply breathtaking, as you say. Thank you so much for yet another wonderful film. Happy memories for me. I was there in 1970, when I was 12.

[@barrybkopicz2845]

Visual poetry

[@frankhofmans1401]

Sensational video and accompanying music. I feel a Norwegian magnet captivating my handlebars here far away in New Zealand

[@matthewnorway]

Norway is the NZ of Europe :)

[@jan-erikcarlsen3008]

Wow such incredible drone shots, really captured the essence of the day. Thank you again for organising the event, it was a real pleasure to be out there riding with this great group of cyclists

[@matthewnorway]

Thanks, Jan Erik, I look forward to next year ;)

[@daghylin]

Fantastic drone shots! So nice to relive the experience from the drone angle. Already looking forward to next year

[@matthewnorway]

Thanks, Dag, same here!

[@frankvermeulen4621]

Magnificent.

[@andreasolsson2336]

incredible footage and riding

[@hansfiers4837]

👍👌👏great video, thanks for sharing

[@michmastahl]

There is one bad thing about this video…. I can only like it once. That makes me want to ride in Norway. Such a beautiful video.

[@matthewnorway]

Join us next year!

[@michmastahl]

@@matthewnorway I already thought about that.

[@Coffeepanda294]

Just what I needed today, thank you ❤

[@Knypsterino]

Trollstigen: 1 Old folks in Rapha: 0 (Great drone footage❤)

[@tomhorn6156]

I love your videos. 24/7 commuting on a e bike alldays ,all sesons.for 11 years. Green like karlsberg beer 😊Cheers!

[@chopwood2995]

Visually stunning! And with the score meditative. Also fun to see so many choose to go both ways…..what a workout. I like both your styles: the newer more cinematic videos and your historic narrated first person perspective. Very cool! Thanks!

[@matthewnorway]

Many thanks 👍

[@mrsporty9669]

Beautiful 🌲 please announce in good time so we can sign up for next year 🚴 looking forward to this great adventure

[@matthewnorway]

Later this year we will announce next years event,

[@cuprarichard]

Wonderful😍

[@johanwardell1387]

Thank you Matthew for these fantastic views and shoting! What a road, have to cycle it one day. Maybe next year.

[@matthewnorway]

Remove the word 'maybe'!

[@suenord1]

Beautiful drone shots!

[@tednruth453]

I've been trying very hard to reduce my 'screen time' recently. It's very difficult when such spectacular views keep popping up on youtube. Thankyou Matthew ✌️

[@matthewnorway]

I think these sorts of videos are acceptable screen time :)

[@RafalJablonski]

Beautiful video 💚

[@phillcubed1745]

Stunning - invoked many memories - many thanks to all involved

[@notaclue7227]

What an amazing video. I can't find the words to say how wonderful that was. I was crying watching it. Steve

[@kikomonztah]

❤🔥🤙

[@tonypaddler]

WOW !!! 🚵‍♂️ Thanks very much Matthew, you've done it again! 🚴‍♂️👍 Edit; just reached the end where it asks "The World's Greatest Road?" I've cycled in many different countries and I can't remember a tarmac road that beats this one for scenic beauty!

[@matthewnorway]

🙏

[@somaferguson2383]

Stunningly beautiful. What a day it was. Love reliving it again :-) Thank you

[@matthewnorway]

Look forward to next year Graeme!

[@pauloclaro2364]

Awsome landscapes,hope one day ride this habitáculo ROAD.

[@shireesh175]

❤❤

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

Trollstigen is been smother already, in the 1990 it was more like a road you find on Senja, Troms😃

[@se6369]

Nice filming

[@laszlolovass3052]

"The old road to the left..." yet I have cycled on that (undamaged) section in 1998.

[@stephenselwood1941]

Great video Matthew, would have loved to be there but was a few 100km north near to Brønnøysund. Autumn is a fantastic time for cycling in Norway, less people and amazing colours. Your video brings back amazing memories. A few years ago there was a sign in the cafe at Gudbrandsjuvet "Os gallwch ddarllen hwn gallwch gael coffi am ddim" They had a Welsh guy working there, I had a free coffee 😊 If you organise a similar event next year I'm going to try and be there, old, slow but I can do it 😅

[@matthewnorway]

Speed doesn't matter; you're welcome to join!

[@dreamhaven140]

We will be going there in June.

[@justinsedgmond1627]

Cycling in the metaverse

[@AM-hk3uw]

Good work son. Nominate a day each year, and let the people come eg the first Saturday in October (for example). Work in with other major events eg The Oresund Bridge Run June 2025. I am coming over to do that, so a week later would be good for your ride.

[@joaoleiteneto668]

I don't know what to say. I can see the touch of God on It.

[@SIXAXIS63]

Depart 14 juillet 2024 pour moi c magnifique , par contre je suis en moto 😂, belle Video 😊
