Norway's Most Beautiful Roads to Ride | Ep.5 ARCTIC 

I was missing your videos and came back to rewatch some of them. God how good they are and what nice vibes you transmit! I hope your projects are developing well and don’t forget that we don’t forget you Matthew!

Ok, Matthew, thank you (again) for this exhilarating series! It's mind blowing 💥 I will nominate you to the Nobel prize of Bikepacking/ touring. You are to Norway and the cycling community what David Attenborough is to the natural world! 💛

it’s great that ‘The sun is always shining’ in your videos 😀👍🙂

Matthew - please could you put together a simple booklet with all these wonders in them.

I don’t want this episode to end

Your storytelling blows my mind 🥺

You are my inspiration to visit Norway. Thanks from sharing your knowledge. A big hug from Spain

I haven't cycled thru these roads but I'm lucky enough to have driven thru 3 out of these and they have made me want to not only travel in Norway but to live in Norway

Very close to the nature, almost like to be there, I have watched your videos more than once, thanks for sharing & your smile 🌟

Thanks a lot for an incredible and truly inspiring series Matthew! Hope you keep doing more of this…

Definitely agree about Senja. Off the charts. Great video.

So nice, heavy, great, tough conditions, beautiful roads!!

Truly inspirational. Great filming! Compliments🤩

You've just made my day, I commented on your last video saying I hoped Senja would appear and you've not let me down, it's basking in the glory of top spot! I've now got 8 months to come up with a week long itinerary that takes in the best hikes to complement route 862. First and last nights will be in Tromso to allow me to ditch my bike bag, next stop probably the camp site at Sommaroy, as that area looks great, before then getting the ferry to Botnhamn to take in the delights of Senja. Thanks for serving up a great series of inspirational videos. Your mix of footage and narration is superb, I particularly loved the dialogue in one video when you dismissed a low moment for you as just that, a moment soon to be replaced by better times. So true. I may be picking your brains for a tip or two nearer the time ;-)

Well done matthew, truly stunning. I hope to cycle there in the coming years👍🇮🇪

I agree 100% Norge Jeg Elsker Deg !!

As usual very well done. Just a little disappointed your top 5 series is ending but excited for your future videos. I’ve begun planning my next cycling holiday to Norway and I will use your top five series to schedule my visit. Your a wonderful ambassador for Norway. Thanks again for your videos. I recently shared your channel with a fellow cyclist and he was very impressed.

Great video, Senja is on my bucket list, for sure. But by motor cycle :)

I agree with what u say on Lofoton. I did not like the E10 at all, too much traffic, but surprisingly the roads going round the islands are very quiet and yip the 815 is the way to go. I got the impression that most tourists just rush up and down the E10, some Norge drivers can be aggressive and inconsiderate as is the case most places.

Another good one Matthew! I think I will go for a trip to Senja next summer!

Awesome, thanks for sharing

Your video makes me dream of future vacctions in Norway. I ight have to wait for retirement.

Yet another amazing video Matthew! Chapeau!

Fabulous! Thank you!

Exquisite series Matthew! All good things must have an ending, so be it. Now back to the riding in Norway, whichever way since beauty just seems to bloom from everywhere we look. Thank you for this wonderful series.

It's very beautiful!🤩👍👍👍👍

Mind blowing and exhilarating .... no better words that I can express .... incredibly beautiful and heavenly riding route. Again & again thanks a million for the video. I will keep it as my top itinerary planning. My dream to ride there and will make it come true surely and staying safe & healthy for time being to do it in near future soonest .... riding the midnight sun,

Verry nice video Matthew! I love the Outro :)

Man you Killing us with this heavnely places. In my place i have non large green location like this. You should open agency office for and start make schedule group trips for any cyclist would visite your country. I would plan to come ❤️. Please keep post those it is plasure and relaxe to watch. I have sun and lot of sand over here. Big love and support 👍🏼👍🏼

Hi Matthew. You did it again: entertaining, informative and inspiring. Great editing and storytelling. I am sitting here, just as you launched the video, crunched over Komoot, Google maps and other apps, planning next summer's trip "Norge på langs", ie starting at Lindesnes and cycling all the way up to Nordkapp. (if I can make it...). So I will follow many of your tracks, and it gets me really excited. Can't wait. Thanks for the great work! PS if I were to offer one piece of constructive feedback, it would be that you read through and edit the subtitles. I realise it's some sort of automated speach to text system, and some of the interpretations of Norwegian names (and some other words in your charming dialect :) turn pretty silly in the subtitles :)

Amazing places, fantastic video, bravo Matthew!

Have you cycled the road to Å yet? (The end of Lofoten). That road is also mind blowing 😀👍

You should try fv341 from Vardø to Hamningberg sometime. Quite spectacular narrow road that twists and turns between vertical cliffs.

I loved this series! I can't wait until spring to start exploring some of them!!

in Love 😍

Excellent series ... yeah, I guess the top worst roads in Norway no one wants to see :) But maybe series can be extended in the future for the best roads to do in spring, summer, ...

Beautiful Norway 🇳🇴❤️

Nevertheless people swim in the sea also in summer.👍

Absolutely loved the series! Well done on bringing it to life! 👍🏻

Spectacular video as always Matthew!! Nordkapp is definitely on my wishlist. I'd like to ask you where did you sleep when you went there. You wrote that the road is 128km long. Did you wild camp north of the tunnel or did you have to go back? Thanks!

Thank you. When are you going to cycle in Iceland? :)

Hei! You cycled through Nr5, and mentioned the glacier, but you should try to cycle TO it, especially the road from Røssvoll (Mo i Rana) to Svartisvatnet (black ice lake). On that road you will see the amazing green clay waters along the river offshoot from the glacier, mountains grasslands and at the end you can go on the ferry over the lake for a short hike up the rocky terrain (where the Ice was stretching only 100 years ago), this hike place feels like hiking a Greek mountain as it is completely made of light brown rock with thousands of small ponds where water gets trapped in the sun (so you can go for a dip in the not so cold water).

S T U N N I N G

Amazing!! You've inspired me and my girlfriend to do some cycle touring in Norway this year, probably over summer. You seem to enjoy a lot of good weather on these rides, is that clever editing, good luck or do you just head out when the forecast looks favourable? I'm just wondering what our chances are of encountering similar weather or two weeks of grey skies and rain? Thanks. James.

Just subscribed to your upcoming cyclenorway website! When will it be live? Planning to use it extensively for May June and part of July trip in Norway.

Great video. A+++. What's the earliest in the year you could feasibly arrive in Kristiansand, avoiding the cold of winter and freezing to death at night or during the day, to begin cycling north towards the Nordkapp? How long would it take to reach the Nordkapp having ridden some of the spectacular roads you have shown in this series and others? When would you say is the latest in the year you should be approaching the Nordkapp giving you enough time to ride back south to where to catch a train or flight south again? Would 4 months from say start of June, July, August and finally September ie 4 months be enough time do you think? I am thinking of taking the new ferry route that will start in April from Netherlands to Kristiansand. Just remembered Brits only have 90 days in 180 days in the EU so possibly only mid June to mid September which sounds doable. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey Mathew, which website do u recommend for looking at ferry timetables in Norway?

Hi! @matthew could you recommend roads to ride near Hareid(Alesund) we got car, two bikes and one week to explore 🥰😇

🤩👍

One question - the arctic mosquito - no mention. Is it, was it an issue?

Hi Matthew. 3000 subscribers. Think something has to change, you need to do something new , maybe you could be out on the road yourself , or maybe you could review some bikepacking gear. want you to get more subscribers and also more exciting videos.

I'm going to have to unsubscribe to your channel before long or I'll end up moving to Norway! Do you have a spare room??

Hey mate. How are you doing? Are you going to delete my comment again?
