    Cycle Touring in Norway: 5 Things I Learned (4K)



    In the summer of 2019, I spent a month cycling 2,500 km through Norway, from the southern city of Bergen to the Arctic city of Tromsø. In this video, I discuss five things that I learned about cycle touring in Norway.

    My book about the trip – “Cycling Norway: From Trolltunga to Tromsø” – is available on Amazon (Kindle and paperback): https://amzn.to/3cGVjr8

      Awesome video! Do you have a link to the route that you took? Was thinking of doing south to north following a similar route in the summer! Thanks.

      Late to the party, but a useful and nicely produced video. You were abit unlucky with the weather last summer, Western Norway is rainful, but normally the weather is somewhat better than what you experienced. If you ever considered doing this again in Norway, try starting on the other side of the mountain range, in eastern Norway, were there is a greater chance for drier and warmer summerweather. Still hope you had a nice time!

      How did you cook in the rain? I'm looking for a tent with a big enough vestibule for cooking when it poors but I'm open for alternatives. Not really into draggin a tarp and setting it up everytime

      Hi. Nice video. I must say you have been very unlucky with the weather. It's not normal with so much rain in June and July (22 out of 27 days). I'm from Norway and I have been cycling around in this country for many years – in all parts of the country, East, West, South and North. When I'm planning a longer cycle trip I prepare for maximum 50% of the days in rainy weather but it is always less.

      Thanks for watching! If you're interested in learning more about my ride through Norway, my book about the trip is available on Amazon: shorturl.at/coqxG It includes notes about about tunnels, ferries, and camping in the wild, and a percentage of royalties is donated to the Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation.
