    EP.4 CYCLING The MIDNIGHT SUN Pt1: VOTED one of the most SCENIC RIDES on the PLANET



    NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC voted this one of the best ‘drives’ on Earth! I would say it’s 10 times better on a bike! It’s a journey I’ve been wanting to tell for some time. The long ride up the coast towards the Arctic is beautiful in every way. But it’s also challenging with long days in the saddle as you wait for ferries to shuttle you over the fjords and between the islands. Part 1 covers the first three days and Part 2 (link below) covers the last three. Not one day stands out for me they were all magical in their own unique way.

      Such a well put together and funny video! Love how you capture those little peaceful moments that make bike touring so great.

      I went through Norway late august, Tromsø -> Lofoten -> Bodø -> Trondheim -> Oslo in 9 riding days due to time limitations. Extremely cold and rainy weather except for the last 3 days, but once I was on the bike under all my rain clothing, it didn't matter too much. Took the inland route from Bodø. Crossing the arctic circle on the Saltfjellet plateau was breathtaking. Snow on both sides. The air just crispy clean. This video makes me wanna go back already, and ride the quiet coastal routes you took.

      Hey!!! I'm glued to the screen watching your videos. I will be in Norway doing the Arctic Gaciar from Tromsø to Bodø from June 24th to July 4th by bike, I'm sure it will be fantastic … many congratulations !!!!

      Love your videos Matthew but could you please pan the voice over to the center and not mostly to the left 😀 just a pet peeve thing from a sound designer ;D

      You should have stopped on GLomfjord and walked the Fykan stairs before they got closed down for good 😭
      I went up them on a rainy late summers, early autumn day all alone in August/September 2018 and I had them all to myself 🤩
