The Bikers meet some extraordinary artisan bakers on Norway's west coast, bake Scandinavian rye bread and attempt the Olympic bobsleigh run.

The Hairy Bikers start their epic 5,000-mile bakeation in Kristiansund on Norway's stunning west coast. They ride out along the Atlantic highway, ferry-hopping from island to island, and enjoy the thrilling biking provided by the spectacular roads that hug the rugged coastline of the fjords before arriving in the capital, Oslo, for the annual Norway Day celebrations.

As they travel, they meet extraordinary artisan bakers, who are only too keen to teach them how to make their Norwegian specialities. The duo choose amazing locations to cook some of their favourite Norwegian recipes, including Scandinavian rye bread and cardamom and lemon cookies. On their travels, they taste the Norwegian delicacy aquavit, Si rediscovers his Viking roots, and they both push themselves to the limit when they attempt the Olympic bobsleigh run.
