This Norsebound Tour Weekend will commence at the start of the UCI Road World Championships, the first time that such an event has been held in this city. I still cannot fathom how they will negotiate the cobbled streets, so I guess that's why as early as February they have started flattening roundabouts and removing central reservations. This will be a one-off event and a must-see experience for anyone who likes a bit of Lycra in their life.

The actual dates for the event are 16th September to 24th September, so you'll only catch the start. But that should be enough for what is touted to be the biggest summer event in Norway for 2017.
