On the third day of my bike tour around the island of Senja, I took a detour to a fantastic little beach called Bostranda. After that I made my way up to Bergsbotn viewpoint overlooking the impressive Bergsfjorden. A long and tough afternoon followed where I battled the cold and tourgh head wind ahead of me.

Unfortunately I had to cut this trip a bit short, but I intend to go back to Norway next year and cycle all the way from Lofoten to Nordkapp. This is such an amazing part of the world with photo opportunies around every corner.
Bonjour Mike ,wouahh,que c'est beau et comme d'habitude ,tres bien monté, et belle musique de fond!!
comme mon anglais "isn't perfect",les sous titres m'ont manques !!!???? Have a good one. merci !!
You knocked it out of the Patti again! Amazing scenery. It was very inspirational. One of the things I look forward to on Saturday. One question, do you get credit when the advertisement plays all the way through? If you get it I don't mind waiting through them. Google… not so much. Thanks so much for sharing!
Nice Video Mike!!
Best Regards from Brasil man!🚴🏽♂️🇧🇷
Beautiful once again Mike.
Beautifully balanced portrait of a magical place. Hope the sun came out on your drive home. Thanks for sharing Mike really enjoyed 📽☀️
Thank you for a beautiful video. Such stunning scenery. Sorry to hear you had to cut the trip short, but wow, what exceptional views!
Superb tour, thanks for sharing, the scenery is so beautifull, hope Corona will be over soon so we can travel again, you made me wanting to ride these beautifull regions, in Norway or Sweden, I keep your videos so I can make my route when I will be able to ride.
Très belle vidéo Mike un plaisir à regarder , bravo pour le montage et la musique👍
Beautiful video as always Mike , thanks
Given the information you had, Mike, so very understandable decision to call it a trip and head home. Thank your for bringing us along and sharing such a breathtaking landscape.
Hi Mike, you made the right call and aborted the tour which I loved. Raspberries in November? How cool is that and so far north, Must be the Gulf Stream Effect. Did you make dinner with coconut milk. Hmmm. Just asking.
How could you have a bad ride in beautiful country like that. The tunnel system there for bikes is pretty amazing as well. Once again beautiful content. Take care and stay safe, Al
Very nice tour Mike. I've been home for about two weeks since my last trip and watching this makes me want to get back out there. That's a beautiful island but high winds are no fun. I bet your family will be glad to see you back a little early also. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Atb, Tony
You did not iron the vest when your returned it, tut tut the Norwegian's will never let you back ☺
This was a beautifully shot video. Yet again. I think you were very sensible to shorten the tour due to the weather. Holidays are supposed to be enjoyable. There is no point being a martyr to an itinerary. I am looking forward to your next video.
Discretion is the better part of valor. Sorry you had to cut your trip short, it looks like an incredible place to ride
WOW!!!! Thank you Mike.
Weldon solo rider and congratulations for drown…
You have such a beautiful place and paradise for riding rich breathing and maybe you agree with me that in this area where only you with yourself helps to make decisions and future planning..
What a shame you had to cut your trip short, but I know all about the weather. I did my first 50+km ride yesterday (a mix of road, gravel and muddy woodland trails my bike was not designed for) and the last 10k was in the dark with a headwind and rain. My legs gave up on one of the last big ascents (which wasn't that big to be honest) and I had to get off the bike and have a rest for a short while but couldn't stop for too long as I was soaked/wet and the wind chill was not good. It's been great to follow you on this journey. I'm looking forwards to your next trip. Take care Mike
Hi Mike, another great video, well done. Shame about the weather but never mind there is always the next one, looking forward to it👍Take care
It's funny because southeast of Bergen is a rock formation called Trolltunga which means Troll Tongue or sometimes referred to as Devils Tongue. 😃
0:27 Even the toilets are arty! 5:43 Just don't park in the turnaround, haha! 8:36 Is that crazy ramp a shortcut to the road below? Thanks for taking us along!
Beautiful landscape very quite atmosphere really loved the whole tour. God bless you and keep up the good work 👍👍
Tjena Mike, shame this trip came to an early end, but a wise decision I'm sure. For 2020 3 days across any international border was an achievement. Still cycling to work? Ed.
The tour around the island was beautiful and peaceful. I would like to make that ride. During the time you were riding was there any possibility of snow? I don't know anything about the seasons in Norway or about weather above the Arctic Circle. BTW I have a 2019 Kona Sutra that is being assembled. It arrived at my house on the Wednesday of the first week of the COVID total shut down in March. I am planning a mountain biking trip to Utah and then I plan to ride the Kona coast to coast here in the US. I hope to tour Scandinavia on the Kona after my US ride. Do you have any plans to tour the US? Be safe 👍☮️🌞🚴
Hey Mike that looked simply beautiful. Pity about the weather. I think your videography has reached a new high with this one 🙂
Wow, ireally beautiful. Thank's for your video
Nice, Mike! So nice that now I have to go view parts 1 and 2 now! 🙂 Darren got me hooked on Norway from his videos.
Nice video! Looks incredible but I guess it was a bit cold. Hope you get home well!
Bonjour Mike, merci pour les sous titres !!! en France peu de gens sont bilingues,ont baraguine un peu avec notre anglais scolaire soit 5 ans a raison de 4 a5 heures /semaine, Have a good day
Beautiful video Mike. I have been fortunate to have visited Norway (just a short stay near Tromso area). Beautiful land for sure! Great video… especially love the fact that you are not constantly talking over the music and just let us enjoy the scenery and excellent background music. Well done!
Bloody gorgeous.
Really enjoyed your videos
thank you i enjoy a lot your bike tout im from MASS.im i hope one day i can go vicit the Beautiful NORWAY
Nice video, enjoyed the waterfalls. I look forward to cycling the Arctic Coast in 2021
Hey Mikael, hope you're well…smart move, I'm always up for avoiding that nasty weather. Appears all the motorist got the memo to stay off the road whilst you cycled through. Enjoyed it Mike!
I know this episode has been out and I'm just catching up…approaching the holidays now…I wish you and family a wonderful Christmas and the very best in the New Year.
My goodness, this is so pretty. Thanks so much for allowing us to live the experience vicariously through your videos. I live in a region of Maine where there is a Swedish enclave ( towns of New Sweden and Stockholm…). I see such similarities in both architecture and territory- minus the high mountains of course.
Thanks Mike. You hav a gift for telling a story through your videos. Stay safe on the bike 😎
That is excellent cinematography! Well done. I know how much work it is to incorporate so much video on a bike ride. Lots of extra stops and backtracking. But you gave your viewers a real treat.
Such a beautiful place. Seems like from another time; so peaceful and serene. Your videos really inspire me to visit Norway. Thanks so much!
Du er en kult fyr! 🙂 Veldig inspirerende 😊
Sorry, Mike, that the weather didn't work out for you on this tour. Very beautiful Island and liked your music choices that went along with the video.
👍👍👌👌
How do you handle loneliness while riding prolonged distances?
