The Weakest Currency in the West ?
I remember my first visit to Norway. Everything was incredibly expensive, and every spending decision had to be made with great caution. At 20, I was a student with limited funds but big dreams of traveling all over Europe during my summer holidays. Norway was the first country on my list, and my budget of […]

2nd Class Citizens…
It’s that time of year when many of the mountain roads are either open or about to open. Cyclists have many questions regarding which roads are officially open and where they can cycle exactly. At times, I feel I get contradictory answers and information from the authorities and locals alike. What is actually illegal and […]
A May to Remember! – Que Sera Sera
Every 5 to 10 years, Norway is graced with an early summer, and the last time this happened was in 2017. That year, temperatures soared above 20°C by the first week of May and stayed warm for most of the month. I remember watching a YouTube video titled “It’s Always Sunny in Norway,” and thinking […]

However, like with any new website, I wasn’t completely happy with the full design, and in hindsight, mistakes were made. Of […]
Cycling the Land of the Midnight Sun
This is a guest article about an adventurous couple from New Zealand who spent 3 months cycling from Oslo, through the fjords and mountains, and up to Tromsø in the far North. Norway is widely recognized as one of the most mountainous countries in Europe with more than 300 peaks over 2000 metres high…..so why […]
In Search of Perfection
Having cycled all over Norway in the past four years, it’s remarkable how little high-quality photos I have to show for it. Epic drone and GoPro shots are plentiful but at the expense of still photography. It’s never been a priority when YouTube is my main social media channel. However, this all changed in early […]
Close Trollstigen
It is quite astonishing that in a country as beautiful as Norway, with so many famous mountain roads, for a day once a year, not one is closed to motorised vehicles. Italy, Switzerland and France all have car-free days. The Stelvio bike day in Italy is a fantastic example, where hundreds of cyclists attend […]
Aurlandsfjellet Makeover
Norway has many significant climbs over spectacular mountain passes. The mixture of rocky terrain, glaciers and fjords on serpentine roads is a unique experience for any cyclist. Unfortunately, many of Norway’s most impressive climbs are not well known and information about them is limited. Road or summit signs and any form of communication for cyclists […]
