    There are many, many routes you could do. Look at the routes on the site near to the location you are in and choose small sections of them. For example cycle 15-20km and turn around or find a road that can loop back to the start.

    If you’re after flat terrain. Head to the fjords and cycle the roads along them. Lustrafjord, Hardanger, Hjørundfjorden, and Sognefjorden all have great roads to cycle on.

    For example:
    Choose a section of Hardanger: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42464973?privacy_code=vOhmcNV1Hc2SlVJX
    Hjørundfjorden: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1304995140
    Lustrafjord: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1304996474

    Other examples:
    1) Gamle Strynefjellsvegen is an amazing 27km (54km both ways), but it will close in the next few weeks
