Trip Summary

The indeed very wet Sunday did not really invite to a hike. Making a bike-trip, however, seemed just OK to get some fresh air. Starting at Varden, I first biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. Between Svartaberget in the southeast and Skarkafjellet in the northwest, I then turned into the direction of Laksevåg (towards the northeast). After cycling along Liavatnet, I was in the mood to double-check whether there wasn't a way to connect from Nordre Banuren to Gravdalslien with the bike (my memory was that there certainly is no way to drive this connection with a car, though). After cycling up to Nordre Banuren, I got the very clear impression that crossing over to Gravdalslien with the bike was neither possible (not without carrying the bike etc.). I thus biked back and continued along the "standard biking route" towards Laksevåg. After biking around Holefjellet and Damsgårdsfjellet in their north, I took Stadionveien up to pass "behind" Damsgård Hovedgård and just in front of Damsgård skole. Via Nylundsveien and Voldene, I then connected to Gabriel Tischendorfs vei. Next, I biked along Gyldenprisveien, Lien, and Nordre Skogveien to Bøhmergaten. From there, it was just down to Solheimsgaten to get to the main biking route towards the south via Minde. After cycling along Kanalveien, I took the tunnel back to Fyllingsdalen from Kristianborg. In Fyllingsdalen, it was then basically down to Varden from Oasen. While I did return home soaked from all the rain, I still was glad that I got out a little.
