Of all of the places I've been around the world doing mountain biking road trips with Irish pro Enduro racer Jonathan Maunsell (pictured), exploring Norway's E-39 Highway along the country's West Coast might just be the most spectacular and scenic I've been on. The highway is a marvel of engineering. Its $47 billion price tag seems worth every kroner. (The E signifies the highway is part of the European Road Network, but Norway hasn't converted to the euro.) The road is so artistically constructed, the blacktop actually adds to the already amazing scenery.
