Episode 1 – Stadlandet – Cycling The Atlantic Coast – Norway

In early May 2023, I set off to document Norway’s most famous long-distance route. The Atlantic coast, which is part of the Eurovelo 1, is perhaps the most spectacular coastline in the world. This 6 episode series will take you beyond what you may have seen on youtube before. We pull out all the stops to capture this unique area in all its wonder and beauty. Join us for an incredible ride to the Arctic.

Episode 1: We begin this journey in Bergen, where we take Norway’s famous coastal liner Hurtigruten up to the small remote town of Måløy. From there, we cycle some of Norway’s least visited areas and capture incredible mythical footage of a land on the edge of the world.

  1. I've been toying with a thought about a little cycling trip to Stavanger (yeah, my bike is called Stavanger) from Finland, either from Oulu where I live or from Helsinki where my bike manufacturer is based on. These videos do not help at all to calm down the fever! Although I've only recently started to sketch my route, I wish I could be already riding and making my way to Norway.

    I fell in love with cycling in Norway when I cycled from Olderfjord to Alta and from there to Kautokeino via the Arctic Post Route up on the Finnmark and I've been wanting to get back there ever since. The scenery and harshness and sheer beaty of the nature is just so overwhelming wherever you look.

    And Matthew, please keep up the awesome work you do but remember to take some time for yourself as well and leave the cameras home once in a while!

  2. Really solid piece of filmmaking. Very good work. Gunstein Myre’s solid work in the chase car and building the sequencing with his shot selection afforded you the room to concentrate on the storytelling. What truly elevated the piece is the time and effort you spent in post. From the opening graphic of the route, to your pacing, to your color correction… each element creates a strong and cohesive whole. Finally, your music choices were spot on. Never cloying, always amplifying the emotion, advancing the narrative with its own voice. It is clear these are a labor of love, and the care shines through in every frame. Nice work.

  3. I've driven all these routes a few times, and it still amazes me why those areas between Måløy and Ålesund don't see more tourists. That said, they're excellent alternatives to get away from the main tourist haunts. 🙂

  4. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This was some great escape from reality. Really looking forward for the next episode!

  5. it's funny that you've been in BRØNNØYSUND,because NRK's sommer show beginns exactly there😃This year it is cycling. It's a bit minute for minute show.😀

  6. I am not the least bit of a cyclist but a huge fan of Norway and you show this country at its best! TOP. Thank you for your wonderfull videos full of inspiration for the next visit. There is one thing to add. As far as I know every weather forecast is split in south and north of Stadtlandet for it is such an important weatherbarrier.

  7. Lovely video! I've spent a lot of time in this region and I absolutely love the nature and scenery. Looking forward to watching how you portray my hometown of Ålesund and the local area.

  8. Fantastic landscape (Norway is my favorite and I can see it is yours too). Amazing video, thanks for sharing.

  9. I'm so into these up and coming stories. Kudos to the stellar work by Gunstein operating that drone. His operating really put this work to the next level.

  10. Dude amazing video, but am I the only one who's like, why have your helmet on if it's not done up? Helmets have saved my life twice and my wife's life once, but they were secured properly. Dude you are a legit cycling influence now, please display robust safety advice, especially if you are encouraging new cyclists to unknown and cold/wet terrain.
