Norway, Trondheim, 18 – 22 July 2023

Tromso to Ulvsvag to Mosjoen to Trondheim – two overnight stops along the way to Trondheim.

Tromso to Ulvsvag – once again a great ride, overcast and cold with a few drizzles, mountains, fjords and a ferry crossing Tysfjorden, there is no other way to get to the other side. I arrived at the end of the road and there was a queue of cars waiting, a guy comes around with his phone and you tap and pay with your phone using NFC cost 5 euro. This is a fairly big ferry because trucks have to cross as well, in fact all traffic has to use the ferry. I was on the top deck and took off my helmet and gloves but after we started moving there was a freezing cold breeze and as my hands and face started going numb I quickly put my helmet and gloves back on hahaha, trip time 30 minutes.

Ulvsvag to Mosjoen – another cold drizzly ride with one section at 800m and 12c freezing as I did not have my heated gear on and only heated grips. Many tunnels and bridges and some narrow roads.

Mosjoen to Trondheim – similar to the previous rides, roads a little bumpy, warmed up towards the end.

Trondheim – population 213,000 fourth largest urban area in Norway and home to a number of Universities. Busses are the best way to get around, everything is clean and organised with many restaurants in the city area. It is 63° North of the equator similar to Fairbanks, Alaska but being on the coast the weather is milder.
