Grea views of Trondheimsfjorden from the well-paved road. It's pretty flat so with a good wind you can pick up some decent speed between Flakk and Rye.

Våttakammen is a glorious viewpoint for Trondheim and is easily accessible from Ila and northern parts of Byåsen. For a longer run, continue on to Geitfjellet for superb views of Trondheim Bay.
