Come with us as we head over to Norway for some Norwegian road cycling, including taking on one of the newest L’Etape series events – L’Etape Trondheim. In this video we go on a local cafe spin around Trondheim and ride around some of the most beautiful lakes with a hill climb champ from the UK and ex-pro cyclist, Ed Laverack. We then head over to the Etape Series (Etape Trondheim) event village to pick up our numbers, our race kit and supposedly get an Uno X bus tour, hahah.
And finally, its event race day! I’ve got some clips from the event start, a bit around the course, including sharing wheels with an ex-pro footballing legend from Liverpool FC (we don’t realise until AFTER the event when we see some press clips haha) and the race finish. Race and event de-brief to come, but such an incredible event.
The event has released early bird tickets now if you fancy a trip to Norway centred around bike race.
Have you ever cycled in Norway? Let us know in the comments below.

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike – I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging – which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike – the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.

Norway is beautiful
Dill?!?! Safer than many herbs, I guess, but still a little odd.
Norway in early summer looks fantastic! I've long wanted to visit, in part because it was my father's ambition to go there but he never made it! 😢 I would love to see the fjords, and particularly the 'Maelstrom' in Boda (Saltstraumen, Bodø). And they have some of THE BEST B&B place to stay in the world! (I don't like AirBnB but it seems inevitable that the rest of the world makes Americans we despise richer. (the extremely rich by any standard)
Rant over (for now)
I hope John Arne Riise watches this (he's a big feller! Most goalies are, I guess) and his pal in the green shirt who buggered off. Explain yourself, young man!
What a year – all the hard work paying off 🔥
