Cycling: Ytstafjellet

After a week of minimal activity due to a cold, I was finally feeling a bit better and decided to test my energy level with a cycling trip to Ytstafjellet. Besides the climb from Myrdalsvatnet to Totland/Riple feeling slightly harder than normal, I made it to the top of the gravel road right next to the highest point of Ytstafjellet without any real issues. Here I left the bike and completed the final less than 60 meters to the summit on foot. No views or any other interesting features to speak of, hence I quickly returned to the bike and proceeded to follow the nice gravel roads southwest, which provided some surprisingly good views towards the south. I then turned north and reconnected with the main road and completed the trip home to Lønborg.

    Artig høydekontur!

    Lang tur til en ubetydelig «topp»! Men høydekonturen kan jo feiltolkes som om dette er en skikkelig topp med PF på nesten 350!

      Hehe. Så kan man jo også ta med at selve gåturen fra grusveien til toppunktet bare utgjøre 0.1 km av totalt 52.1 km... ;)
