This is a well-overdue update on what has been happening since I last spoke to you in late October. It’s January, and it’s cold, but it doesn’t stop people from cycling outdoors! I thought I would give it a go but it didn’t go to plan. In the meantime, Cycle Norway dot com is coming along well but much work is ahead before the launch in April 2023.

Thanks to your videos, Norway is now on the bucket list! Aiming for spring or fall of ‘24.
I want one of those mugs! Do I have to wait until April? Good stuff Matthew – thanks!
Great to have an update and a snippet of cycling, even if the weather claimed the batteries. It sounds as though the website is coming together nicely, well done.
QUestion is, where can we support in the interim and buy a mug? 🙂
I call this riding “hot cold riding” amazing that you can be both at the same time
Riding in Norway in the winter is next level badass to me.
In Michigan I always roll into fall with the idea that I'm going to ride in the snow. Usually the first time ride in the rain with the temps just above freezing usually snaps me back into "NOPE!" territory. I can usually stay dry and warm except for my feet. I would be curious to see what you guys wear on your feet there.
So excited about the website! Your videos are the reason we are coming to Norway (all the way from Australia) to cycle.
Keep on the good work for the website. We are planning a gravel bike trip in Norway next summer ans I'm looking for gravel routes. I hop you're gonna have many of them on your web site! Eric (Canada)
It was indeed a tough morning. One of the coldest! But great that you joined. We`ll do it again soon!
How many immediately recognized the start of the Trollstigen ride on that left side of the new cup?
Living in Oslo I have previously (before Covid and WFH) biked to work every day, summer and winter, without breaks even in -25C, but it does require a totally different mind set, focusing on staying out of the wind chill with sufficient layers and proper boots + flat pedals. I also more or less destroyed two bikes over those years due to all the salt. 😞
Love the logo. I used to fatbike during very cold days here, about the same if not colder than your's. No more, too hard on everything, especially the old bones., Great work Matthew. Good luck with the rest.
It’s too cold in England to cycle most winter days. That’s extreme temperature! Not enjoyable. Dartmoor is unpleasant let alone Norway.
Love the website idea. Maybe invaluable to me if I start out on the EDT next year. UK training this year 🤞
I've been cycling here in Oslo year round for the last 3 years. If the hands, neck, ears are covered properly, I found it fine !
One thing I dislike (maybe you can help ?) is the people using floodlights, with thousands of lumens, in the city (or the tour de finance for that matter).
I get it's dark, I get you want to be seen … but it is just blinding the other cyclists …. maybe an educational video on the safe practices for the dark winter, with some notes about being considerate for other cyclists 😉
I quit winter cycling in my early thirties, it's to dangerous in traffic and way to uncomfortably cold, and the bike needs a lot of maintenance all the time. No, winter in Norway is more about cross country skiing not riding your bike.
lol, muted the vid when the "money" song started playing, and then saw the caption and realized I could unmute 😅
Love the new logo .. and the animated version is perfection. Simple but evocative visual of traversing Norway, on a bike. Hanging for first glimpses in April and a live adventure in June! Keep up the great work you’re doing in bringing a stunning vision to life! ♥️
Glad to see things are coming along! And that you're still getting the time to cycle for yourself
I finally saw all your video’s, as said before i love them all, can’t wait to see new video’s. Just like you, i think that Norway is the most beautiful country in the world and i saw i have a bit to explore yet.
Hi Matthew, thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Could you recommend any budget gravel bikes that suits us at "entry level" for biking in Norway?
Brilliant Matthew. Don't forget the 80/20 rule. I want to cycle in Norway in September. I'd love to see the website, even if it just gives me a basic framework to plan a trip.
i discovered your videos last year, i watched them all for the beauty of landscapes and i think that you are an endearing person, someone full of humor and serious at the same time. don't change a thing,i can't wait to see what's next.
Recovering from a disc injury… this has been a wonderful channel to motivate my recovery! Thanks for the great content, can’t wait for the launch and get back to bikepacking!! 😁❤
I have been cycling in the winter and I still need to be convinced it is fun. I used to do gravel before moving, but the region becomes a huge swamp in the summer. No idea how to have a good gravel ride close to home without diving head first into a swamp. Done that a couple of times, not fun.
Great start! Logo should be a N that looks like a road or mtn.
I LIKE THE MUGS we are coming to Norway this summer are the mugs for sale and could I pick up a couple. thanks
For vinter cycling you can't beat hub gear and magnet driven backup red light like a Reelight so basically a summer bike and a winter bike.
