One of may fav bikepacking vids on youtube. Loved the humour and the drama. Cracked up with eric getting the shits at your flying your drone. Reminds me of my cycle mates. Great banter keep up it up!
I am moving to Norway in January. Cannot wait.
Mesmerizing! Magical- you guys had gotten a great gift, with the GODS of BOLD ADVENTURE watching over you. Many thanks for sharing this amazing incredible video!🙏
you are truly inspiring 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Stunning video and impressive achievement. From the riding, the hiking, the filming, the story telling, the editing. I am in awe
Spectacular video, thanks for sharing very well made 😊
Wow never realized Norway was so beautiful thank you so much for sharing
pleasure!
absolutely brilliant thank you for doing this now I dont have to the scenery really is something else Im off to see Norway!!! but not by bike no way how bout doing another route round another national park in Norway?? sounds to me like a great idea you do the hard work while I sit back and watch 😄
So beautiful.
Spectacular documentary, thnx for sharing with us.
What a bit of luck the road was closed to traffic! WOW
I am slightly envious, thanks so much for sharing.
MY GRATE RESPECT TO YOU! HATS OFF!
I love your animation at the beginning of the film on a real map - great Job!
Thank you very much 👍
Amazing! You both are so strong. Physically and mentally. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
I say this feeling awe and total respect for what you did. You are absolutely CRAZY and out of your mind. You are a monster.
Damn, what a great video, I had to watch it two times in a row 🤗
1st class video as always Matthew.
Many thanks David!
That was it.the living end.finally.
Thank you and goodbay..
Wow this is amazing!
I’ve actually cycled from Germany to the north cape and planned on taking exactly that route!
At the end I decided not to give it a try because I was on my own and the weather was bad!
It’s so cool to see someone finally do it!
I would have never expected to find this on RUclips❤
Great minds think alike! But glad you didn't do it in bad weather alone. Better to be two people, if something bad happens there is no mobile reception.
Awesome! Keep the "type 2 fun" videos coming.
Yep, Norway is probably the most beautiful country in the world. I will go back next year, but with my car 😊
then don't take the E 6 all the way. South of Trondheim it's a rule: The more numbers a road has , the more beautifull or challenging it is😃 enjoy 😀
Absolute Lunatic 😉
Hopefully Eric didn't fall asleep behind the wheel on the way back home!
Great camera work, thank you, Matthew!
twice but I took the wheel!
Wow. I would probably turn back (if I was not with you guys).
I take a deep bow for you guys ! An injury is lurking with a bike on your neck in that terrain it seems to me... Fortunately, it ended well ;-). Thanks for making us part in your journeys, great footage as always.
Once is enough 🙃
Great adventure and beautiful scenery!
Inspires me to similar challenges!
Wow, that impress me much. Actually youre both innovative by creating new trend 😉 i like both cycling and hiking, so i was interested to watch how it ends 😁 Great job guys: cyhiking - it's extreme 👍
Thanks Adam!
Stupid idea...probably.. but what a ride...awsome!! Job well done Matthew (and Eirik)...👊🏻😉🍻.
Thanks Roger! 👍
just wow so beautiful
Very have such underrated channel Matthew. Hope you reach 100k in no time :) Thank you for showing our marvelous country.
The road on the other side of Lustrafjorden is an absolute gem too. Great video.
I agree! We planned to ride it but missed the last ferry 😏
Wow, this is an amazing piece of story telling, Matthew. I'm in awe. Like Eirik, I'm speechless.
#ryanvanduzer You have GOT to see this 🙂
That was an awesome loop! Type 2 fun for sure. Beautifully shot. Thanks for sharing.
Sheer delight! That descent, wow! Shame you had to stay in that hotel, though. Thanks, Matthew and Eirik! Greetings from Devon, UK.
Once again, another fantastic video. Thanks
What an absolute stunning journey! Thank you so much for taking us along with you. Stellar filming, and stellar scenery!
Thanks Peter 🙂
Hei Matthew, know I asked Patrick Zasada which Bikecarrying-Construction he used to carry his bike through the mountains of Switzerland. He used Hookabike from PUSH Components. He is on RUclips and realy crazy!!! Climbing the mountains with his bike 😱 Greatings from Hamburg, Claudia
Haha 😂 What a ride you got there. Incredible views. Norway is for sure incredibly beautiful. I have only gone there by car. Maybe should take a bikepacking trip there next year.
You should!
Ah, Breheimen! I visited this gem in August of 2015 , stayed two nights at the DNT-cabin Sota Sæter, did a short hike on a glacier nearby. This park is probably not so well known as its neighbour to the south-east; Jotunheim NP. (although I assume that the word has spread since 2015). Next time we`ll be doing the 20km hike down towards Nørstedalssæter (another DNT-cabin) which is just inside Jotunheimen NP. Greetings from Oslo.
Amazing route and footage!! Totally in awe of your craziness :D
If you want to make an actual list of Norway's top 5 grass roads, one of the roads you should consider is the "Kongevegen over Filefjell" through Lærdal, but using the hiking paths whenever possible. (Especially through Galdane, Vindhella, and the bits around Maristova.)
I have looked at that one. Will try it next season :)
Wow, amazing trip...and thanks for bringing us along!
Just glad you didn't break an ankle on that boulder field on top. Can you imagine?
Eirik would of carried me back!
If you're gonna go off piste! Great filming and thanks for sharing the jaw-dropping cycling scenery of Norway!
super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great adventure and video. I'm glad I found your RUclips channel.
Thank you for taking us in this journey. Going to the "no man's land" route in your cycle ride is risky, but you made it. Pretty amazing.
yup, closed roads... aaaand sunny days, are IT! 😁👍
I loved this video. Love the area you've visited there. If you happen to be in Luster again, I recommend road Fv 337 from Hafslo to Tungestølen, too.
On the to do list, thanks!
Just for a change, Matthew goes on an epic adventure. Heh heh. God has crafted the architectural flourishes, Matthew and Eirik do their road warrior bit. Fabulous scenery, fancy filming, and pleasing perhaps nervous self-mocking. It looks pretty manageable on the map, I mean it's only 12 km, right? The unwieldy bikes and assorted bags over difficult terrain made you less than nimble, and you did well to make it back to the car. Novelty is the word, but doesn't do your efforts justice. Congratulations on another great gig and video.
23:00 gonna try that by Mountainbike should be doable for sure!!! Thank you very much for this amazing video
Incredible! Thank you for sharing this journey. A lot of work goes into filming and then many more hours of work goes into the video editing. Absolutely in awe of this.
Thanks for another great video. I am really enjoying exploring Norway vicariously through your adventures. Personally more used to the 4 legged variety of horsepower for experiencing the great outdoors. But I totally get that you need to be able to hear and smell and feel to properly appreciate the wonders of nature, landscape and creation. Looking forward to more great content, but take care! 👌 😁
Plenty of great place to experiences Norway with them four legged creatures! I know Bygdin Mountain Hotel has a 2-3 days horse adventure around Jotunheimen NP.
@@matthewnorway I'll check it out. Thanks for the info.
Thank you, always enjoyable.
Hey Matthew
Again a great video idea to connect the two dead ends of the streets. I walked there only on the Nigardsbreen side and I immediately believe that you don't want to do that again...!!! :-)))))
Superb adventure
Brilliant biking video 🎉
awesome !!!!!!!❤
Nice one. And to cycle in a dead end valley - and turn an go back is also possible - and the trip is very different when you go the other direction and downhill.
WOW. Looked absolutely amazing especially with the conditions you had. Another one for the bucket list and I MUST go back to Norway soon.
Impresionantes paisajes durante toda la ruta,
You both are so lovely crazy 😅❤👍👍👍 Gå på tur with your bikes trough Breheimen!!! There exist since last year a stripething for carrying the bike on your back! I will search it and send you the name of this hikingtool. Greatings from Hamburg, Claudia
You should try some Norwegian mountain hiking.
Really fulfilling and a lot of nice views, just be prepare to be best friend with those pesky abrasions and blisters on your heel! :D
Wow ini hebat 👍(🇲🇨)
Awesome, really enjoyed this. Totally relate to you telling how the amazing scenery makes one forget about pedaling and climbing and instead just pulls one along from vista to next breathtaking vista.
Kinda crazy hiking 12k through that mountain terrain, obviously it wouldn't have been possible in bad weather. Get lucky or had you waited for a great weather prognosis?
I would be very interested in another one that Strava says no one did on a bike. The hiking path from Nordrestølstjørna to the Songedalen DNT cabin, to get around the limited ferry service at Lysebotn. Looks more doable than this (more epic) one, since you can actually see most of the path on satellite pics.
I have been looking at that one. Looks like a nice option for a big loop if you don't want to take the boat at Lysefjorden
Yes, that is a must! We'll do that this summer when we find two days without rain!
Why with a gravel tho LMAO, with a mtb that could have been much more ridable. Anyway amazing views and even more of a great performance!
I would love to do the walk between Gjerde and Sotaseter - without bike. It would just leave a logistic challenge - how to get to the starting point and how to get away further from the finish point - because I don't like walking on roads.
Amazing video! How was the road up to the dam? Is it paved all the way up?
Paved all the way!
If road closed, just go around 😁🚴🏋️
Hi Eirik, Matthew.......... "Do we like to do it again?" "No, never, not in this year." "Do we recomend it?" "No, we never recomend it........... hhhmmm, it´s too late for the autumn....... because of daylight." I like trips where I say: "Never do it it again." My wife always scrolls her eyes when she hears answers like this..... "No, he never will do it again....... in this year. He never can stand still." I love my wise wife. Guys, I hope for you that I see the next ride on Strava. Since Eirik is a Baby-Father he has to hurry up..... Greetings from Saigon. I´m planning my next trips......
New stupid adventures are coming up next summer :) When will you do some biking in Norway Hajo?
@@eirikkristine Eirik, with this motivation movie...... hhhmmm let me fly to Norway tomorrow..... looks really nice. But I would like to do it. Let´s see.... to do a track like your Breheimen Glacier is a nice challenge to do. Good Night to Oslo to the Family 🙂
✨✨✨✨--I M P R E S S I V E-✨✨✨✨
Where did you get the map that your using in the beginning?
From a book shop in Norway
@@matthewnorway my partner and I have been studying your videos nonstop to plan for our next cycling trip around Norway. Possibly from Amsterdam to Nordkapp along the coast of Norway. We are struggling to find a timeline for cycling this route. We will have 3 months. Do you think it’s enough? Love your videos thanks for all the hard work!!
"oh man, it's so quiet at the top" barely audible over upbeat music... 😅
Referring to the lack of traffic.
Great video, unbearable amount of ad breaks
"😆Hiking sucks!"
Wow Respect to you both what a challenge biking and hiking in such a remote location of 🇧🇻 stunning landscape 🤩🤩
