Hi
Anyone? I'm cycling to Norway and have to decide how best to get to Oslo. I really fancy going from Uddevalla to Grums, then up to Arjang and onto Oslo from there. The route that goes straight north from Gothenburg via Halden doesn't seem the most interesting and I reckon the day extra I'd need to go via Vanern is worth it. But when I look at the route in ridwithgps (here), it tells me that I'd have 3500 metres climbing to do on one of my stages. Really? I find it difficult to believe. The area seems mostly flat to me (undulating but not hilly). Can anyone give me information on this? I really don't think I can do 3500 metres climbing over a 100-mile distance on a fully-loaded touring bike. Are these ridewithgps figures reliable?
