Cycling: Kalandsvatnet

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
4:10h
Distance:
56.9km

Too hot for extended hikes in Bergen at the moment, so I decided on cycling instead and completed a trip I had been thinking about for some time: cycling around Kalandsvatnet. Overall, a very nice trip that can be highly recommended with most of the cycling being on separate walking and/or cycling trails.

Short local bike ride around Eidsvågsneset, with a quick visit to Sandviksbatteriet . Note that the steep and bumpy gravel road up to Sandviksbatteriet is not really made for cycling though. ;)

Cycling: Ulriken Roundtrip

Date:
12.08.2017
Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
3:14h
Distance:
50.9km

Started from Lønborg following the marked cycling trail to Åsane around Eidsvågneset. Continued south to Gaupås/Haugland, along Kvamsvegen to Lono, and Hardangervegen towards Midtun, before turning north to Landås and taking Fjellveien to Munkebotn, and finally ending up where I started. A roundtrip that can be recommended as it mainly follows roads with limited traffic or designated cycling lines/sidewalks. The exception is the stretch along Grimevatnet, where one has to cycle on a road with heavy traffic, i.e. rush hours should be avoided.

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
2:26h
Distance:
37.5km

Started from Lønborg following the marked cycling trail to Åsane around Eidsvågneset and onwards to Nordhordalandsbroen. Here I turned back, following the marked trail around Salhus taking me to Åsane terminal, before finally returning to the starting point. A route that can be highly recommended as it mainly follows roads with limited traffic or designated cycling lines/sidewalks. Rush hours should still be avoided though, especially around Salhus.
