Cycling Across the WHOLE of Norway in a Day (Cycling Documentary)

If you're going to cycle across one country in a day then it has to be Norway! It's the perfect length with the perfect scenery. Perhaps not the perfect climate but that just adds to the challenge!

Is it normal to have tears in your eyes after this kind of video, due to the story or the landscape or both? Well, I don’t care, that was one of the best videos I’ve seen - thank you both!

[Timto]

Quite possibly the best video on YouTube

[xrfx]

A fine example of "live to fight another day". I'm glad you are both safe and hats off for just starting it over again with more experience.
On the other hand, I can't wait to ride my bike in Norway, it looks incredible! Just can't get enough these sights.
Very well done, you are both legends!

And another breathtaking video!
Matthew you're crazy!!!

[biankakoettlitz]

I like to see that you’ve not always sunshine in the older videos. I love them 👍🙂

[JaqueParisien]

Epic! Mesmerizing! Absolutely beautiful! You just never stop to amaze us with the quality of your films and what I have come to expect from you, your narration, the story with an ending. Congratulations to both of you. Your determination is inspiring.

[randehansen]

OMG! Loved this video! Thank you, Matthew!

Matthew ....an epic task ....the good the bad and the in the end ...its always about he journey from NZ Roger

[BekOlimjon]

What an awesome journey! Enjoyed every bit of it. Have been playing with an idea about riding across Norway and now after watching this, I think I will have to convince a friend or two, and then we are good to go in the summer of ´22. Thank you for your work Matthew. Highly appreciated.

I was waiting so long for this story for beeing completed. Finally it's there - MISSION COMPLETED !!!
Unbelievable that you made a complete 2nd attempt to get it done.
Great story, watched it with pleasure, a dream for everyone who likes to bike and likes to have the adventure of the unknown experience.
And you took your time for sightseeing - crazy... ;-)
All the best for you and Jeff, great footage!
Keep on rolling!!!

Wow, what a trip. There is no such think as 'failure' - its character building which makes us stronger and more determined to chase & achieve the goals.
Great film with awesome scenery. Well done on your achievement - truly inspiring.

[robertsmme]

Even though you said it yourself, that was your best film. Well done both of you.

[felixm]

Wow! Incredible trip and an amazing film Matthew.
Watching the breathtaking footage, I began to feel sad. I wanna go back to Norway so bad. There is so much left to explore. Even though I just cycled through it this summer.

[jcoterhals]

Astonishing film, Matthew, your best one so far! I couldn't foresee the ending, and that's what made this so special. Can't wait to see what you're up to next.

[ralfhedin]

Fantastic video and my total respect for your decision to stop the first try so close to the finish line! That you combine extreme endurance fighting spirit with a capacity for cold analysis to decide when it is time to stop is incredible. Respect!

[chrispower]

Absolutely phenomenal achievement especially having the determination to go back and finish!

[percival]

Doubling Down is I guess what we have to call this malarkey, heh heh. So pleased that the Weather Gods were as kind to you second time around as they were unkind the first time. Oh yeah, and dig that Suicide Moose! Don't see many of them in Blighty, let alone catch 'em on camera. My longest and most difficult days in the saddle are always the ones I have fondest memories of, isn't that strange? Those times when having come around the bend you know that you have still another 8km ascent into the headwind, some 40 minutes full gas, before the release of freewheeling downhill. I am never live more 'in the moment' than when on a difficult climb, when I know it is not a test of my physical strength, but of how high I can lift my spirit. Love your films, Matthew.

Matthew, you are David Attenborough of cyclists😊 thanks for great effort and sharing 🌟

[HowManyMore]

Well, Mathew, I'm speechless and flabbergasted! What a superhuman endeavour - twice! 😯
Unsurprisingly, another marvel of storytelling and filmmaking. I am nominating you for the Golden Spoke Award! 😇😎🙂

[typhon]

Wow those chills stayed with me 10min after the end!
Thank you for this beautiful film. I went from France to Norway this summer, I definitely want to come back! So much left to see!
