Norway Cycling

2025-08-20

The trip appears to be out of category impossible, a six-day ride of 480 miles and 42000 feet of climb.

On a ride with fellow Norway cyclist rider Doug, we discussed the first day of cycling. It is a 96 mile ride with over 12k ft of climb. At 76 miles there is a 12.4 mile climb with an average slope of 7%. Followed by a climb of 1.6miles at 7.6%. These are Tour De France climbs. We could of course get into the support vehicle. Doug ask “I know what the normal bats**t crazy Al would do, but what would the sane, smart Al do?” To be honest, I’m not all that familiar with the sane, smart Al, but it is something to consider.
First I’m flying to Zurich and driving to Liechtenstein for a ride. Why? I will than have cycled in every double land locked country in the world. I wonder what sane, smart Al would say about that.

There is no accounting for individual taste would be an understatement. Sent 2025-08-20 from Tom Powell
