Biking Askøy with Dyrdalsfjellet

Date:
15.05.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
38.2km

After work, we still wished to get out and thus decided to make a bike-trip to Askøy. After following the main bike-route to Askøy, which follows first Kjøkkelvikveien, north of Loddefjord, before then continuing along Sundby Hvorups vei to connect to the large bridge, we then cycled up Stongafjellsvegen to get up to the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. In fact, it was possible to bike almost all the way up and we "only" had a few height meters left to walk, after leaving our bikes behind on the saddle in the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. After first enjoying the views from Dyrdalsfjellet, we then included also Varden at Øvre Kleppe for some more nice views. Once back to the bikes, we decided that we could make a round via Erdalen before heading back. We therefore continued to bike in >>>

To Alvøen and back

Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
26.2km

We thought that it would be interesting to have another look at the progress of the construction of the new bridge to Sotra. We thus took our bikes and headed into the direction of Alvøen. At Hetlevikstraumen, we used the small bridge to get over to the western side of Mathopsvågen. At Mathopen, we then took a turn to the right in order to connect to Småvatnet a bit further north. Biking along Småvatnet, we then connected to Hakonshellaveien. From there, we then descended to the old main building of Alvøen. On the other side of Alvøen, the continuation was then along Pålaveien and Ramsvikveien further northwards. At Janaveien, the new bridge came into view, first, and from Janahaugen one could enjoy a nice close-up view. Also from the other side, at Drotningsvikveien, looking >>>

To Åsane via Bergen and back

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
56.1km

I had something to do in Åsane and thus decided to extend my bike to trip to Bergen by a detour via Åsane. On my way back, I included a traverse via Munkebotn (instead of cycling around Eidsvågsneset again) and Fjellveien. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
42.3km

We decided to combine biking and hiking, heading to Fanafjellet with our bikes. Leaving our bikes behind at Fanasæter, we then hiked the one round on Fanafjellet, which includes Høgeåsen and Lyseskarfjellet (Linken), returning via Ramberget to Fanasæter. On our way back, we then included a short detour via Fanahammeren, before then cycling around Hordnesskogen. From Grimseidvegen, we then crossed through Skageskogen to get to Øvre Birkeland. From there, it was then along Ytrebygdsvegen back. Nice to comine biking and hiking on such a nice day! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
