Before starting in Vinstra, do the Jotunheimvegen. So that you can arrive in Skåbu, drink some water, then enjoy the crazy long slow descent to Vinstra. One of the most fun of the tour that Matthew helped plan a couple years back.
So nice. Brings back memories from when i did the same loop many years ago, Actually, I biked from Lillehammer up on the west side of Gudbrandsdalen, part of which is also Peer Gynt Seterveg, then dropped down to Vinstra and up on the east side where you filmed. Beautiful
Hei Matthew. Looks great! Now that my back is working again (bloody back - two summers in a row it's locked up painfully ) I'm off to do this route tomorrow. On the map of the route you have plotted cycling the west side of the river between Kvam and Vinstra, but on the video you appear to cycle on the east side of the river. I'm inclined to stay on the east side. Is that best?
Great video, thanks for sharing your ride! How do you mostly handle your water stops, just ensuring you go via local stores or taking enough for the whole day between accommodation or?
This is another great video of beautiful Norway, and I understand that you are trying to show these routes in the best light to entice people to actually come and ride them, but I miss Moaning Matthew. A jovial comment about sheep in the road, and the smallest mention of the plague of annoying flies, Moaning Matthew would have had more to say about this, and on top of having to do the hill climb as the first effort of the day!
I didn't think about this route as a day ride, I'll definitely try it next time I'm visiting family there. Did you try riding the other Peer Gynt road that starts from Tretten/Svingvoll? Nice video

of course I've heard the flute melody. but for the life of me can't recall where .. now I won't sleep tonight. thx very much. mega vid tho ❤
That melody is "morning mood"/"morgenstemning" by E.Grieg.
Bugs Bunny ring a bell?
Might have been Good morning Sam.
Good morning Ralph.
@@jeffroussell I found imdb page listing all uses of the piece. and looney toons were listed several times. so possibly yes :)
Pirates ARE amazing! lol
❤❤❤❤😊
What hotel are you referencing in the beginning? It looks amazing!
HI Explore Sjoa
I did this ride today and loved it. I wore a red jersey and so the sheep moved out of my way. Or not😅
Great to hear!

Both are great to do. The west you cycle closer to the river but on the east you are higher up with more views of the valley. You decide!
@@matthewnorway Thanks Matthew. I took the east side. Lovely ride. Especially with the solid warm-up to start with 😅
Have you tried to cycle the old «Kongevegen over filefjell»? I know its not a continuous stretch of road, but its really beautiful.
yes, it's part of another loop video coming later.
Great video, thanks for sharing your ride! How do you mostly handle your water stops, just ensuring you go via local stores or taking enough for the whole day between accommodation or?
Views from the gravel road are amazing and shouldn't be missed but are there more tire issues than usually experienced?
Some gnarly rocks on the road.
The road was in good condition

He makes an appearance in Episode 5
@@matthewnorway fantastic, thank you!
Look amazing Mathew and seems perfect weather for long ride. Which month this ride was done? Love and thanks for sharing ❤
June

yes Peer Gynt vegen is another beautiful gravel road
Next time try Grimsdalen. Folldal to Dovre or the other way.
Tour de Dovre
you missed the chance to use dovregubbens hall music man. Epic troll music
