The most spectacular ride I've ever done
I rode along the fjords this summer for a few way too short hours. This is in Balestrand, Norway. I have more pics too, but this one was on my computer.
Just incredible...

Another view from the other side. You can see the houses in the first photo on the right. The road follows the water up to the next inlet to the left in this photo then follows up into the mountains. I stayed along the water as I had limited time. It was also unusually warm and sunny with no wind and since it was June, it doesn't ever get fully dark at night.

I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was, and there I was cycling through it. I'd turn a corner and just be left breathless.

Last year I rode a 1200k through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Just breathtaking. The last day I was riding with some American friends, and one said "if I see another beautiful lake or beautiful blonde, I'm going to puke".
