Just finished my first bikepacking trip ever exploring Norway's beautiful mountain landscape. In 19 days, I cycled over 1000km and 20000hm on the fjord Norway route.
I made every beginner mistake imaginable:
– Not testing my 2000€ setup before the ride. Had to learn riding click pedals on the first day 😀
– Packing way too much weight. Since I'm always hungry, 15kg of food pulled me back on every climb 🙂
– Not planning the route in detail. For example, Trollstigen is closed this year – I found out on the riding day.
Despite my naive preparation and bad weather, I really enjoyed this summer adventure. Where did you already cycle in Norway?

What’s the tire clearance on the bike and what was the ratio between pavement roads and gravel you rode?
