Hi there,
For our summer family tour, I'm seriously contemplating Norway. I've read some tourist guide, the
(few but always interesting) pages on the Trento Bike Pages, and now I'm looking for direct pieces
of advice from the group.
The general idea is to make a loop Bergen and Alesund or Trondheim, with one half using HurtigRuten
and the other half riding along the fjords. First: is it better to cycle Southward (begining with
the ferry trip) or Northward?
Our way of touring is camping, self-supported, loose and flexible planning. The family is 4, with
two boys aged 15 and 9. Some of our tours are described here
(http://www.loria.fr/~jacquot/velo/leisure.html). This is the context for the next questions :
- does the trip looks feasible in two weeks? (I think Trondheim is too far, but...)
- are there some places we need to see? we need to avoid?
- are there cycle routes available in the region? Where?
- special equipment? useful norvegian campers' trick?
- special preparation for bikes and bikers?
- anything I forgot?
Thanks a lot for any response,
Bonne route,
Jean-Pierre
