**Time to do some catching up.... excuse the lazy commentary hehe. At least I added captions to all the albums!**
The Rallarvegen was originally built as a supply road for the initial construction of the Oslo-Bergen train line. I took the train up to Finse - the highest station in Norway - and rode the 35 miles back down to base camp in Flåm. I had thought it was going to a fairly easy ride, being downhill and all, but I was definitely mistaken. The "highest train station" in Norway does not necessarily mean the same thing as the "highest point" in Norway... d'oh! All in all this was the most epic, most phenomenal, and absolutely most beautiful ride EVER. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves mountain biking.
Some pictures from the obscenely picturesque, little village of Flåm. I only stayed here about two nights due to its ideal location as a jumping off point for both biking and fjord sightseeing. With only a population of about 400, its amazing that this is one of the most visited sites in all of Norway!
