Recumbent bike trip in Norway 2023 | Part 3: Lysefjord route

In this episode, we leave quite late from the campsite in Rysstad because of the bad weather. We have to abandon the plan to cycle to Lysebotn and follow the very scenic highway 450 via Sirdal and Hunnedal, roughly parallel to the Lysefjord. After a very long and tiring ride, we find a primitive camping spot on the Tengesdalsvatnet late in the evening. The next day also starts off very rainy, so we have to skip our plan to go to the Preikestolen. Only after Jorpeland it clears up and we cycle along the beautifully located Tysdalsvatnet to Hjelmeland, where we book a cabin for two days.
In deze aflevering vertrekken we vrij laat vanaf de camping in Rysstad vanwege het slechte weer. Het plan om naar Lysebotn te fietsen moeten we laten varen en volgen de fraaie "450" via het Sirdal en Hunnedal, ongeveer parallel aan het Lysefjord. Na een hele lange en vermoeiende rit vinden we pas 's avonds laat een primitieve kampeerplek aan het Tengesdalsvatnet. Ook de volgende dag begint erg regenachtig, waarmee het plan om naar de Preikestolen te gaan, letterlijk in het water valt. Pas na Jorpeland klaart het op en fietsen we langs het fraai gelegen Tysdalsvatnet naar Hjelmeland, waar we een cabin voor twee dagen boeken.

Thanks 👍

[@TiagoRuivo]

What app do you use for your maps. Seems quite interesting

[@thewizardofoh]

I use Osmand on my smartphone, my brother Openfietsmap on his Garmin Etrex. And the maps in the video are made with the Relive app.

@@thewizardofoh lovely. Thanks for the info. Btw, you know where I can buy a used recumbent in Holland?

[@thewizardofoh]

@@TiagoRuivo I would suggest marktplaats.nl search for ligfiets, there you can find great bargains. Or on the ligfets.net website. Are you looking for a specific model or brand?

[@TiagoRuivo]

@@thewizardofoh awesome tip. I've been searching for a while but so far no luck.

@@thewizardofoh Im just looking for something affordable. I'm Portuguese, and in Portugal there's no market or offer. And Im really tired of normal bikes as I suffer from hand pain and but and neck constantly.
