Five passes on a day, in France

Posted on March 3, 2022March 4, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

August 28th became the day of the five passes.  A long day, a pretty long ride. But what does that matter when you’re in the French Alps? As I got started in the morning, nothing was planned. Well, I had a couple of passes on my list. But nothing definite. And absolutely no idea about…read more>>

Gorges de Verdon and back up north

Posted on February 20, 2022February 21, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

One of the plans of August 27th was Gorges de Verdon, and side south in France. There are beautiful sights to be seen there, in plenty!  Before leaving home i had created a wish list of places. Originally I’d also thought to stay longer in the southern parts of France. Believing that, it being late…read more>>

Switzerland and France, 2021 Euro Adventure, day 5

Bergen and return, vacation in Norway (6)

Posted on October 25, 2021November 3, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Bergen is a lovely city. Well worth spending some time in. I managed to get a tour, before returning back to Oslo. In fantastic weather! The day after Tour de Vestland we decided to stay local. Spend some time in Bergen, wandering around. The Weather forecast suggested sun all day long. It was a slow…read more>>

Vacation through (parts of) Norway (2) – Bjørgavegen

Posted on September 26, 2021November 3, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

A vacation of 6 days can get your far. It depends on roads chosen, and road taken. I made, or tried to make, the most of it. If you’ve not read/seen it, here’s part 1. Arriving in Lærdalsøyri I met up with a friend. Our plan was to ride Bjørgavegen, also known as Fv5627, across…read more>>

The 2021 riding season this far, posting lag

Posted on August 18, 2021August 19, 2021 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

The 2021 riding season has been pretty exciting. So much so I’ve not had the inspiration to sit down a write something about it.  For this does, at least for me, imply being structured and systematic. Or attempt to be. Have a-something to offer that can be of use, to readers. Whether because of imagery,…read more>>

Fall in Norway, seen from a motorcycle

Posted on January 1, 2020January 5, 2020 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Fall in Norway can be pretty spectacular when you ride about. On days with sun and decent temperature the brilliant colors transforms the landscape. Fall, especially in later September, means lower average temperatures. This is a good thing for motorcycle riders with lots of safety gear on. As you move into October inner lining comes…read more>>

Valdresflye and home, summer ride 2

Posted on December 26, 2019December 28, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Valdresflye is a “household name” in Norway, a name for both a road or route as well as a mountain plateau. It was also a part of my return route back to Oslo. Sunday morning the return began. The lingering high pressure produced absolute cloudless sky and perfect conditions for the first part of the…read more>>

Trollstigen, a serpentine mountain road and pass in Møre og Romsdal county was the first target of the day. Followed by Geiranger and Geirangerfjorden. Trollstigen is in Rauma Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county.  If you come from the south, along E136 and Rauma river, it’s hard to miss. More about that later. On gravel and…read more>>

Jotunheimen in Norway is a national park and  mountainous area of roughly 3,500 km².  July 26th I left Oslo for another Norwegian long weekend  ride. Jotunheimen is a fantastic area for trekking, fishing, and camping . You can also rent cabins,  summer or winter. High season can be pretty expensive. According to Norwegian law, aka…read more>>
