Mosel valley in Germany is a beautiful drive or ride. A visit to Burg Eltz makes the experience even better! It had been four years since I came this way. Didn’t take quite the same route though. Back then I visited the castle for the first time, and stayed overnight not far from it. Unsurprising,…read more>>
MC rides (general)
Returning north in France (2022-5)
Tuesday September 20th it was time to begin returning north. Another day of road improvisation, and another unknown destination. Well actually the returning north started the day before, just as we rode through Combe Laval. But this particular morning it was more the sensation of a turning point. Though adventures were to still to be…read more>>
Combe Laval, France (2022-4)
Combe Laval was a target while in France in 2021. But I chose another route further south, and as a result had to drop that plan. I’ve for long wanted to ride D76, the scenic route also known as “Route et cirque de Combe Laval”. A year later it was finally going to happen. Truls-Erik…read more>>
Riding South in France (2022-3)
I did some riding south in France in 2021. Came through Switzerland then as well, a few miles further east, a bit closer to Bern. Experiences from that adventure did influence our choice of direction. Whereas I’d been in the area before, it was a new experience for Truls-Erik. And as conditions at higher altitudes…read more>>
Rapidly through Germany to Switzerland (2022-2)
Riding rapidly through Germany on the way south made sense. Especially as we only had 12 days at our disposal. Early on I hadn’t made any definite decision about direction. Decided on a southern route that kept alternatives open. The weather forecast did seem to rule out some of the options. The next few days…read more>>
A late Euro Adventure start (2022-1)
Circumstances led to a late Euro Adventure in 2022. Originally the plan had been to leave early September. But things didn’t go as planned (again). When I say late, it’s seen through the goggles of a Norwegian. And in regards to seasons in Norway. When days get shorter, and the temperature drops, especially at higher…read more>>
The return back north, 2021 Adventure (11)
The return back north was going to be a long one. It always is, for Norwegians who ride all the way down to central Europe. And up again. In that respect we who live up north are at a clear disadvantage. If our goal is to explore Europe, then we have to cover 2-2500 of…read more>>
Timmelsjoch high alpine road, 2021 (10)
Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is for many a goal, and more than once. Know people who consider riding it obligatory, when in Austria. Been a few years since I was here last time. Decided I could not leave Austria without having ridden the road and pass again. I’d also made an appointment to meet up…read more>>
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road – 2021 (9)
It’s almost inconceivable to travel into, or around in, the Austrian Alps without riding Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Whether from one side to the other, or both directions. The Grossglockner high alpine road is one of those roads that, whether you enter from the north or the south, gives some bubbling form of excitement. Maybe…read more>>
Riding in the Dolomites, 2021 Adventure (8)
Motorcycle riding in The Dolomites is a breathtaking experience. It offers some of the most exhilarating rides in the world. Winding roads, sharp turns, and stunning views. It’s no wonder that motorcyclists from all over flock to the Dolomites each year to experience the thrill. It’s no wonder I had to go back soon or…read more>>
