Nice Norway is has brutal surroundings I loved it, Im just back from 25 day (3450km) Norway bikepacking trip from Nordcape all the way south to Kristiansand.... If you can you should ride the Trollstigen just amazing.
Maybe try our approach. When we have a club ride in the Pyrénées we start with a kind of farmer's breakfast - baguette, cheese, meats and maybe a glass of vino. With a bit of luck lunch is an extended version of the same with maybe some salads and dessert. Strangely the riding is tougher but passes by nicely.
You. got through the day on grit and determination and in a way you are fortunate that the race is so long as you still can make up time and finish on the podium
If you’re not too exhausted at the end of each ride could you do a couple of brief interviews with other riders/mechanics/organisers/locals to give us a broader picture. Looks wonderful out there. Have fun.
re losing the brake pad - In many years of cycling, mostly on rim brakes, I've never lost a brake pad or heard of anyone doing so. Since the complete assembly pad+holder came off, is it possible there was an error in reinstalling the wheels after shipping the bike? Perhaps fitting the tire through the gap between the pads was difficult (maybe wider tires for road conditions - gravel? - on the route in Norway?)? So, rather than deflate the tire, somebody removed one pad assembly (or both), installed the wheel, reinstalled the pad assembles finger tight, and forgot to fully tighten them? This would make sense because the derailleur makes refitting the rear wheel more difficult than the front one. Deflating the tire is a better option because it avoids the need to realign the pads. Lucky that the problem was with your rear wheel, because more braking force is available with the front. Once I was assigned a bike (not mine) with misaligned rear rim brake pads which made a terrible squealing noise. So on that ride I didn't use the rear brake, and found using only the front rim brake perfectly adequate for descending a series of switchbacks.
Norway is like a cross b etween Sweden and New Zealand. I've never lost a brake pad thats shonky maintenance and not whatbl you want on rim brakes down hills😲
That's why disc brakes are just incredibly Superior to rim brakes. Rim brakes could never match the braking power the consistency and the performance of any Hydro disc brake bike. 👌👍 of course the luddites will argue differently but... nobody pays too much attention to those silly Muppets 😁
@@JulietElliottsChannel Brake pads in rim calipers should DEFINITELY have the pad slot oriented in such a way where the pad is inserted in a direction where the rotation of the wheel when going forward pushes the pad INTO the holder rather than in a direction where the pad would be pushed out of the pad slot.
It has nothing to do with the bike. It was the brake (part of a group set that doesn't come with the frame). My fault for not checking everything was right rather than some kind of defect

😁
Love the music and the scenery! Great to have you back with your blog!!!!
Black metal and beautiful bike rides. Yup, Norway's pretty awesome. Great job! (and video, as always)

I lived, worked and cycled in Stavanger area for six years. I know those roads well. Good to see.

Nice to see you back on form Juliet

Good idea, I'll try and do that
That looked an awesome ride... cool colour glasses as well!
Gtreat video Juliet! Love your entusiasm!
Thank you!
Great to ride with you during Stage 1, Juliet! What a great (and hard) day on the bike. - bib #79
Enjoy that weather here in Spain we’re at 42º C that’s like hell!!! Regards!!

I Just left Roses in Spain and was crazy hot, cycling wet n sweaty, never been so hot cycling.
Seriously beautiful place.
Beautiful ride.

Welcome to Norway. I hope you have a good time.
Keep going bab and enjoy the lovely country

What I like about Juliete is that she comes across as your average person who has exceptional grit!
Go for it! 👍🏻
🔥🔥
What are you filming with? The stabilisation is ace
Møøøørningggg!!!!
Great!
🍕!!!!!!!!!!! No contest 👊🏻 Well done Juliet 🤘🏻
Terrific!
cheers!
excited to see you coming into top form again, and you overcame that soul-stealing mechanical. race music was perfect. pizza.
Thank you, I'm just really lucky it didn't happen somewhere dangerous. I went for the burrito!
hehehe something is missing ... have you collect the missing shoes ?? nice there is mechanical assistence for the haute route :-)
No, I was going very quick and it disappeared off the side of the road

Can we not watch the massage?
Fantastic views and who needs brakes anyway
You were in a band?!?!
Hola Juliet,
How can I get into that race/ride???
Enter on their website
which airline ? name and shame
Im surprised to see you back on rim brakes to be honest.
Just wanted to ride this bike! For discs on my other bike
Scandi look suits you.
You got your voice back!
Now get your legs back. Burrito
I'm trying! and yep, I went for the burrito
What... Pizza
You would love Northeast Washington state in America. Peacefu,l nice people, beautiful 💓 rivers lake Roosavelt.
Surprised you didn't get overtaken by rollerskiers
The music was very fitting to the vid!
how in the hell...
It's purely my fault, I should have checked everything properly when I built my bike. I will always take more care from now on

@@jensenhealey907efi the whole shoe was gone. so the main screw got loose.
@@RevoltingRudi OK, I did not realize that. My earlier comment was not useful then.
@@JulietElliottsChannel if it was a rental, it's not even remotely your fault... tis good nothing serious happened on that descent
Que seria de ti sin tus excusas??
Such normal pretty looking legs, where’s all that power come from 🤷♂️
not looking good for ASSOS when their "ASSOS WERKSMANNSCHAFT"-bike is loosing screws ;-)
