      Hi Matthew, great content, I'm planning to do bikepacking trip in Norway on my MTB bike and I'm looking for some routes across best places in Norway but not on asphalt but as much as possible in forests or gravel roads. Can you recommend something to me or is it impossible to make such a route in Norway?

      Thanks a lot and good luck

      I absolutely adore your videos! You've convinced me to come to Norway on my next cycling trip. Do you have any advice on a good 1500kmish route? I'm tempted to do the far north from the Lofoten to Kirkenes, but this Fjord route looks incredible too!

      Just fabulous. You are not only an adventurer, but a philosopher too. For that I am grateful. Also, as the Norwegian ladies clearly appreciated, Matthew, you have buns of steel.

      Brilliant and inspiring movie, great editing. When I visited Norway for the first time, 47 years ago, I said to my parents that was the country where I wanted to live (I was 11 years old at that time 🙂 . Living there hasn't happened but looking at your videos makes me understand immediately why I said that a long time ago… Thanks for sharing !

      Beautifully shot and heart-warmingly narrated video, thank you! Heading to Norway tomorrow for a couple of months of motocamping, your Fjord Norway series was a real inspiration. See you out there on the road Matthew 🚲🏍️

      I did this exact route in 2015, and the descent from Trollstigen is still one of my life's highlights– I remember riding down with tears streaming from my face at weight of it all: the beauty, the stillness, the unity of the universe. Your video of the landscape was as beautiful as I remember, which is really saying something. Thank you for taking the time to pick good angles, charge your drone, and edit with such respect to a place I recall with such fondness.

      it's nice to be reminded about the privilege i have, living so close that i can visit these places anytime i want.

      Hi Matthew! I’ve done this route today, and my god what was it beautiful. I’ve to cry because i’m seeing the views again (partly also due to the fact that i’m exhausted 😋). I’m doing this route for my holidays, and i’ve enjoyed enjoyed enjoyed it so much so far!!!!!! Norway is BEAUTIFUL (I’m from the Netherlands and well….). I experienced today just as you described so yeah definitely very good videos 👍👍 I felt bad for the cyclists i passed that cycled trollstigen the other way around… Much thanks for work!!!

      Beautiful video's Matthew! I'm going to bike myself in Norway next month. How do u navigate the whole route? Are there good applications or is it beter to use maps? Second I am planning to bike from Kristiansand up north, what route do you recommend?

      Not far from the top of Trollstigen theres a side road leading to a waterfall. Its called the knioght leap. The myth says that two young loverswere chased by their parent and in adesperate leap the lept over the waterfall

      What a joy to watch your videos. We spend our holidays in Norway cruising the fjords in our campervan this yeay and we are already longing to get back to this beautiful country. After seeing your fjord series, we are even longing more.
      Congrats on the filming, editing, and narrating. Amazing job. Also tons of respect for your endurance and hardship climbing those magnificent mountain roads.

      Kesällä 89 jäin Trolstigenin päälle yöksi, aamuyöllä alkoi tuulemaan niin kovaa että telttani lakosi maahan.
      Purin teltan ja laskettelin alas laaksoon missä oli aivan tyyntä.
      Upea maa Norja.

    28. Keno Roussell on

      Traveled Norway for 2 months in 2015 and Road 63 was part of the journey. Dalsnibba toll was closed so hiked (had no bike) up the 4.6 km road to the top.
      While at the summit 2 cyclists made it up, they were stunned by it all.
      It is a must if there, the views, the feelings and memories are irreplaceable.
      Everything Matthew said about it is spot on.

      That is one tough climb. And people should know: In July the traffic from Geiranger up to towards Dalsnibba is dense. There are buses, campers, campervans and cars everywhere. On those small, narrow roads that certainly drains extra energy – as if needed. If you're riding there in July, you ought to start early in the morning. 6 o'clock or something.
