Eksingedalen Loop – Fjord Norway’s Best Kept Secret | Ep.2

I’ve journeyed across Norway to film and document the best loop rides the country has to offer. This series will reveal the countless incredible cycling destinations in the land of the midnight sun.

In episode two, we check out the most lush and green valley I’ve seen. It’s a journey crying out to be cycled with limited traffic and country roads around some of Fjord Norway’s best-kept secrets!
