Cycling: Våge - Reksteren - Våge
After last year's excellent trip where I cycled from Våge to Reksteren to ascend Gjøvågsfjellet, I decided to repeat the success and return to Reksteren for the two summits I had not had the time to ascend last time, namely Vardafjellet and Dalstuva. Again, I first cycled to the Bergen city center, brought the bike with me on the bus to Halhjem, and from there took the ferry to Våge. Here I started the GPS and followed the same route as the year before, although now thankfully only to Smievoll and Frøkjedalsvatnet (and not (almost) all the way to Gjøvåg). Here I left the bike behind and continued north on the trail along the lake. See the separate trip report for the ascents of Vardafjellet and Dalstuva.
Upon later returning to the bike, I cycled back the same way, making it to Våge with almost 30 minutes to spare before the ferry. After the break on the ferry, it was time for the bus ride back to Bergen, which last time had not been a big success as it was a Saturday evening and the bus got completely packed after only a couple of stops. This time it was a Sunday evening and thankfully not as many people, but with one other bike plus lots of luggage, I was still happy to have the whole thing over with when we finally arrived in Bergen and I could cycle the remaining kilometers home to Lønborg.
