I'm glad I never went through a motorcycling phase.
It's great, you can travel at legal speeds, getting good mileage, enjoying fresh air & sunshine, and still scare yourself enough to need Depends.

Pete -n- Little Pete saw a very similar road near Myrdola, it may have been a rail bed.

Since Flan is a cruise ship port I assume it's at sea level. Myrdal Station is at 2850ft (867 meters). It takes about an hour by train and I figure it would take me six months on foot looking at those switchbacks.

I suppose while they were doing this Griff was in PA, toting that barge, lifting that bale.

Norway is a first world, hippy-green kind of country, so they should let you take your bike up on the train and cycle back.

Also, Ta Dah (French horns) there's the Rallarvegan, "The Roof of Norway" Kind of an Appalachian Trail for bikes.

Rallarvegen - the Navvies' road
The season usually starts in mid-July and continues to the end of September.
If you want to cycle the Rallarvegen road before mid-July, you should investigate cycling and weather conditions in advance.
The nature and terrain in the mountains is vulnerable so please show due consideration.
Take your litter with you and use the WC facilities at the refreshment and accommodation sites.
Remember other cyclists are following behind you.
Remember that you are travelling high up in the mountains where weather conditions can change in a second.
Bringing the correct clothing is vital.
In the early part of the season, you could be cycling through snowdrifts, so waterproof footwear is essential.
