My latest trip to Norway 2024. I had a disc injury about 18 months ago with a long recovery, so wanted something fairly flat but beautiful, and Norway delivered! Just 8 hours of “tickle” rain, otherwise mostly sun. The midnight sun, amazingly friendly people I met along the way, and stunning views made an amazing experience ❤️
Flew into Bodø with the bike – slight damage in transit which the amazing people at XXL Bodø patched up and got me rolling again. Hopped on the car ferry across and arrived at 10pm. Cycled to Å then Eastwards… with a ‘brief’ hike up the Reinebringen then continued until tired (about 3am). There was some crappy bits of the E10, but as I’m fairly used to cycling in traffic, it was not too scary. All the minor roads and wildcamping were a complete treat! Did a fairly low milage few days to Fiskebøl, then back to Svolvær where I got the passenger ferry back to Bodø.
AMA 😆
