I had a nice little bicycle ride in the Bergen mountains on this evening; on the mountains Fløyen, Rundemanen and Blåmanen. I started out from the road Haukelandsbakken, where I've been renting an apartment in Bergen, and road down to Årstad in the valley between the mountains Ulriken and Fløyen, and then up the mountain side of Mount Fløyen, passing the high class restaurant called Bellevue due to its splendid view over Bergen. I continued upwards, zigzagging up to the football field of Skansemyren, right after which I took sharply up to the right, continuing up a mountain road that eventually leads to the summit of the mountain. The road is paved up to the a restaurant calle Fløyen Folkerestaurant [i.e. "Mount Fløyen People's Restaurant"] and to the end-stop of the Funicular >>>

Bicycle ride to Mount Rundemanen

Bicycle ride to the top of mount Rundemanen in Bergen, Norway this evening. There's still some snow along this route, hence I had to roll my bicycle a few yards a couple of places when climbing the mountain; whereas downhill I could ride my bicycle all the way. It's quite cool having the Endomondo-App on the iPhone. Not only does it draw a map of the track you've been riding, it even measures the max speed of the bicycle when decending the mountain. I have a hard time believing that such a hard bicycle ride only consumes 646 kcal, however, as it does indeed feel like a lot more than that. Maybe I should upgrade to the Pro version of Endomondo to get the calorie consuption correct...
