Oppdal – Kristiansand: This special ride is full of climbs, descents, climbs…descents… You will be required to have a good fitness level to tackle this whole route. I would advise planning rest days into your schedule and keeping your bike light. The difference a few extra kilograms can make is big on this route. The highlights are never endings including Aursjøvegen, Trollstigen, Geiranger, Dalsnibba, Gamle Strynefjellsvegen, Lovatnet, Aurlandsfjellet, Rallarvegen… I could go on… you get the point. However, don’t expect to experience every part the way you imagine. The climate is characterized by wet and unpredictable weather conditions. On some days the road ahead will have limited visibility with mist and low-lying clouds. On other days you’ll have the Instagram shots. If you manage expectations you will find this ride to be one of the greatest on the planet.
