      Done that route in 2022 with the GPS track from Matthew (before he launched Cycle Norway). Insanely beautiful route. Mind the sheeps laying on the road, and enjoy the last long descent to Vinstra. Strongly advise Kirketeigen Camping north-west of Vinstra if you plan is to continue towards Trondheim or Ålesund.

      I'm not that into biking, but hiking our mountains is more my cup of tea. Your expeditions and how you inspire, is just outstanding. I'm watching your videos and I want go explore our mountains and plateaus more.
      Hats off. You are doing a fantastic job:)))))

      My tour bike is hibernating in Vinstra. I’ll be heading up Mjølkevegen and then zig-zagging to the coast next year. I just mapped out a tentative route so this video was good timing.

      Hey, Great tour, but PLEASE dont say its that easy with bikes on a train in Norway. Its hell. Even with tickets. Bergen line is one thing but the rest is hopeless.. There is so mant buss for trains, and they often dont allow bikes. As adults, we can always figure it out, but when doint this with kids or a limited budget ist so unreliable and youoften get stuck. Slettefjellvegen 😀 the dream 😀

      Really nice video and inspiring trip! I was wondering how you made the Norway map graphic in the beginning of the video, where you explain the full trip? Is it an add-in to Final Cut or Premiere Pro?

      I have been there last year on my trip from Oslo to Bodo. I drove on most of the streets you have been. I just wanted to hit Geiranger but didn't expect to be at one of the most beautiful roads like 51.

      Again, WOW!
      Always stunning landscapes and views.
      Can see so much more on a bike and enjoy it longer compared to having to keep the eyes on the road when driving.

      I've been binge watching your videos. I can't believe your channel is not more popular. Great videography, well written and narrated and super interesting routes and travel. Perfect bikepacking videos.

      This video beautifully showcases the magic of bikepacking Mjølkevegen! The combination of gravel roads, stunning landscapes, and well-placed amenities makes it look like the perfect introduction to Norway’s biking scene. The way you captured the Slettefjellet and Valdresflye sections really brought the route to life – such incredible scenery! This has definitely inspired me to learn more about this route. 🚴‍♂🌄

      Any good recommendation to make out of it a 7 day or more tour? Could be somewhere else aswell.

      Carrying all my bicycle gear for two days to Norway is no fun 😉

      Interesting, it would be helpful, if you would mark, where is original trek, and where not. Wanna cycle next year from Oslo, including the Mijolkevegen trek.
