Before visiting, I knew 5 things about Norway:<\/h3>\n

The roads are really, really steep.<\/p>\n

Everything is crazy expensive.<\/p>\n

Vicious mosquitoes and midges attack any unprotected flesh.<\/p>\n

The weather is stormy and unsettled all year long.<\/p>\n

The wild camping is wonderful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Bike\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Flying past the jagged peaks of the Senja region of Northern Norway .<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A link<\/h2>\n

My ancestors had left Norway and immigrated to America several generations back. Maybe they\u2019d had enough of the weather. More likely they were just escaping poverty. Norway hadn\u2019t yet discovered oil and become one of the richest countries on earth. My great-great grandparents probably hailed from some ramshackle fishing village and eeked out a living catching herring.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d always been curious about the country. We\u2019d grown up eating lefse for Christmas, but that was about the only link I had to my Scandinavian heritage. Finally I\u2019d have a chance to return to my roots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Lofoten,\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Typical Norway. This shot is from Lofoten, one of Norway's most popular tourist destinations.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
\n\t

Steep, yes! Impossible, no!<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve now spent more than a month biking in Norway. The roads are steep. But not near \u00a0as steep as I expected. They\u2019re not \u2018get off and push steep.\u2019 I might actually be faster if I pushed, but pedaling is definitely possible.<\/p>\n

The scenery is stunning, and that takes your mind off burning calves and throbbing thighs. Norway is a popular destination and we share many roads with a steady stream of RVS piloted by retirees from throughout Europe. Most are courteous, but a few could do with an eye exam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Bicycle\n\t<\/div>\n\n

The far north, way above the Arctic Circle. It's often a cold, harsh environment but lovely when the sun comes out.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Hammerfest,\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Hammerfest, the most northerly city in Europe. <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Camping\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Exquisite camping spots nearly every night.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Lighthouse\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Lots of spots to stop for sightseeing along the way<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
\n\t

$285 Total Monthly Spending<\/h2>\n

Lots of things are crazy expensive. For obvious reasons, we\u2019ve not been dining out. Or paying for campsites. That leaves food and ferries.<\/p>\n

In Finland, we met an EXTREME budget cyclist. We\u2019re pretty frugal, but this dude is hardcore. He spends around $2,500 per year bike touring in Europe. And he let us in on his secret: Dumpster Diving.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Food\n\t<\/div>\n\n

A typical find from one of our daily dumpster dives.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"bridge\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Some stunning infrastructure in Norway. These bridges are much more fun than the tunnels.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"cycling\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Tunnels in Norway are actually less scary than in most places. The longest one is a whopping 7 kilometers.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"North\n\t<\/div>\n\n

A classic shot from our arrival at North Cape, the northernmost point on the European continent. At 71.1710\u00b0 N, 25.7837\u00b0 E, it's far above the Arctic Circle.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Ride\n\t<\/div>\n\n

It's a long, windy slog to the top of the continent, but well worth the suffering. Views like this are what it's all about.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
\n\t

Mosquitoes, midges and everything not nice.<\/h2>\n

Almost everyone we spoke to about cycling in Scandinavia complained about the bugs. We came prepared with headnets, expecting the worst. Except for three or four occasions, it really wasn\u2019t that bad.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if we just got off easy this year, or people were exaggerating about the annoyances of flying creatures. I\u2019d advise you to pack some hefty repellent and a headnet, just to be safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Weather worries<\/h2>\n

Summer in northern Scandinavia can feel like winter in the rest of the world. That said, southern Norway has been basking in a heat wave for the last month. We came prepared with thick down sleeping bags<\/a> (thanks Pyrenex), high-tech rain gear<\/a> from Showers Pass and little extras like shoe covers, leg warmers and windproof gloves from the cold weather experts, Grip Grab<\/a>. (Grip Grab\u2019s a Danish company and they know a thing or two about harsh weather conditions. Showers Pass is based in Portland\u2014rain capital of the USA. And Pyrenex<\/a> has been around since 1859.)<\/p>\n

One night near North Cape the winds were so strong I feared the tent might blow away into the fjord. The next night we got wise and strapped down the tent using our new WrapTies<\/a>. In case you\u2019re wondering, we\u2019ve still got the tent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"North\n\t<\/div>\n\n

One night near North Cape, the wind blew so hard I thought the tent would fly into a fjord. Then I remembered our WrapTies and used them to secure the tent.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Ride\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Gone are the bungee cords. Now WrapTies secure that big bundle on the back of my bike.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"pyrenex\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Morning coffee with a view!<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"\"\n\t<\/div>\n\n

One of our less glamorous camping spots! It's somebody's shed but it kept us dry for the night.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\n
\n\t

Camping doesn\u2019t get any better<\/h2>\n

Norway has catapulted to my new #1 wild camping destination. Just like in Finland and Sweden, Norway allows free movement and camping under their Right to Roam law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As long as you\u2019re 150 meters from an inhabited structure and not on cultivated land, you can pitch your tent pretty much anywhere for up to two nights.<\/p>\n

This freedom to camp really makes life easy. I never have to worry about some grumpy person trying to kick us out of our spot. (To be fair, this hardly ever happens anywhere in the world.)<\/p>\n

The camping spots in Norway are truly exceptional. Fabulous views everywhere you look. And with a population of just 5 million people, there\u2019s room for everybody.<\/p>\n

I truly love Norway. I feel at home here. The people are kind, crime is low, and everyone seems to get along. People don\u2019t appear to be too stressed out about their jobs. They take time for their families and friends. Norway always ranks high it global happiness and quality of life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I think I\u2019d like to settle here. Go back to the country from which my ancestors came. Of course, I haven\u2019t yet experienced Norway in winter. That might change my mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Wild\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Hard to imagine many places in the world where you can have this view all to yourself.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"pyrenex\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Once we asked to camp next to a farm and the kind property owner pulled out all the stops to make us comfortable.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Wild\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Pretty nice spot to pitch the tent.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n\n
\n\t\t\"Bicycle\n\t<\/div>\n\n

Ride late, and there's hardly a soul on the road.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
