Saturday — Arrival in Tromsø
Flew from Zurich to Tromsø. Assembled the bikes, did a city tour, and got everything ready for the journey ahead.
Sunday — Hurtigruten to Honningsvåg & Nordkapp
Arrived in Honningsvåg by Hurtigruten ferry. Cycled the E69 to the North Cape — steep climbs, fog, and an unforgettable view — then back to Honningsvåg.
Monday — Honningsvåg to Oldersfjord
Cycled 90+ km along the Porsanger Fjord, passing through three tunnels including the Nordkapp Tunnel, to reach Oldersfjord.
Tuesday — Oldersfjord to Hammerfest
Climbed steeply out of Oldersfjord, descended to Skaidi, then rode along the sea via Repparfjord to Hammerfest, crossing the Kvalsund Bridge.
Wednesday — Rest Day in Hammerfest
Explored Hammerfest: visited the Struve-Meridianbogen monument and hiked in the surrounding hills.
Thursday — Hammerfest → Ferry to Alta → Alteidet
Took a high-speed ferry to Alta in the afternoon, then cycled via Kåfjord toward Alteidet, navigating around tunnels and a landslide area — just made it before the rain.
Friday — Alteidet to Sørkjosen
Big day: 1,310 metres of climbing over a mountain pass near Burfjord, bypassing the Kvænangsfjellet Tunnel, then down to Sørkjosen.
Saturday — Sørkjosen to Nordfjordbotn via Tromsø
Rode along the Lyngenfjord, took a ferry from Olderdalen to Lyngseidet, cycled to Svensby, then the next morning ferried into Tromsø. Met the rest of the team and continued south to a wild camping spot at Nordfjordbotn.
