Stunning scenery and what an achievement climbing those hairpin bends and taking drone footage too!! I'd have been too shattered to even think of filming, you really have some stamina, keep up the great trip and thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍I don’t mind the uphills provided I get decemt weather! Once you get into the rhythm with a little patience you get there! Filming does take some extra time for sure, especially the drone…thanks for watching.
Hello Gianni, wonderful as always, I am in the kitchen having breakfast with a good coffee and I have really enjoyed this trip with these incredible views. Sometimes I feel healthy envy of the wonderful things that you are enjoying and what you do, I call it freedom and having the decision to do what you want, greetings and until future trips 😊💫✨👍🚴♀️💫✨❤️🙏
Wonderful. All with the 'go back to get the camera' trips too, probably adds a few extra KM's to the tough up hill distance. Thanks for sharing your efforts, looks like a beautiful place. 🙏
WOW some amazing scenery and shots of the hairpin road but that cabin was a pure joy to see, a pity you didn't stay there but progress has to be made . Another Great installment :)
Yes, felt bad about not staying but bumped into it around lunchtime and sheep and cows were grazing around the lake which was the only water source around! Next time!
Hi Gianni - that's another great video, thank you for posting. You've inspired me to try the Lysevegen road - what views!! I'm going to try that next year - but like you, I'll do it on a big bike. I don't think I could manage it on my Brompton. Good luck with you travels and may you have good weather and a fair wind to your next destination.
It’s definitely a wonderful route. I believe it can be done on a Brompton provided you put a little extra effort and are reasonably fit! One thing I recommend for these parts of Norway (south west near Stavanger or Bergen) is to give yourself some extra days to cope with bad weather. This is the most rainy area of a wet country! Taking minimum time, you risk not being able to see much. I was lucky one day out of two, on the best parts which are two days out of Lysebotn. Enjoy!
Hi Gianni. Having followed all your travels now on a bike, mostly your Brompton. A question. Having clocked up many miles on large and small wheels. Which would you prefer to tour on?
The question can be answered in different ways, depending on what kind of tour you do. Long term travel with a heavy load of luggage is easier on a touring bicycle and not ideal on a Brompton, but not impossible either. Brompton become much more appealing on shorter tours when you are using planes or public transport to get to the places you ride and maybe to cut some boring bits in between if you so wish. In cities I find a Brompton more practicle. Safer to store folded in your room and no need to ask if there are secure places to put a larger bicycle and with its open frame easier to ride in heavy traffic. It’s all about compromises. Cheers
Ciao Gianni, been following your adventures for a while, but why do I feel like you’re being unfaithful to your poor little Brompton? 😢😀 I’m glad you’re enjoying the new dynamic of a larger bike though - will you be touring again on your Brommie in the future?
Ciao! I don’t think it is about being unfaithful. I love Brompton and hopefully will be touring on one again when I plan shorter tours. At the moment, for several reasons, some I have explained, it made sense to have a regular bike that can carry more weight and uses regular parts that can be sourced from regular bike shops. Depending on the tour type, at times a Brompton is a great choice. Cheers

Even this, or living the dream as they often call it, has its own challenges! Still feel privileged to live it for a while 😉
Thanks!
Most kind! Thank you!
I said WOW quite a few times watching that Gianni! 🤩
Good! Tough country, but very rewarding too!
Beautiful place. I really need to try this place once in my life :)
You should!

I try to keep those back and forth as short as I can but they do take a bit of time amd extra effort. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic views!
It’s an amazing place with awful weather 😂
Not far from my home!👍👍🌹🌹❤❤🌷🌷👌👌😊😊
Oh really?🤔

Gianni,
Another wonderful adventure. Was it more fun climbing up or rocketing down?
Keep the videos coming.

You can guess that one!

Always a pleasure to watch your films -- thank you.

Norway looks like the most rural of places you have visited so far. Very nice cycling!!
Yes! And most hilly!
