Johnny Stausholm’s Norway Part 1
Returning FulGaz contributor, Johnny Stausholm has been busy capturing some STUNNING rides from his native homeland of Norway.
He’s sent in a swag of new rides so we’ve broken it up into two separate collections, this week’s routes take us to the regions of Agder and Rogaland. Located on the North Sea on the southern coast of Norway, these two provinces feature stunning scenery and some great climbs.
A favourite in the FulGaz office this week is Rysstad to Sirdal, it has a little bit of everything including treelined country roads, snowy mountain passes and sleepy Norwegian villages. While it’s a long ride, you can use the ride trimming feature to cut it down to suit your indoor session.
Find all these rides under NEW in the FulGaz app or by searching the contributor’s name.
SIRDAL TO RYSSTAD
The journey from Sirdal in the west to Setesdal in the east is fastest by taking the trip over the mountain via Suleskarvegen. The ride over the mountain is quite spectacular and full of beautiful scenery, snow and plowed edges until well into the summer. The road is open to traffic from 21 May to 1 November and closed in winter for the rest of the year. The ride starts in Sirdal at 562m and ends in Setesdal at 255m. The route's highest point is 1,050m on Suleskarvegen.
