Cycling: Nordåsvatnet + Grønhaugen and Ospåsen

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:27h
Distance:
47.5km

On the warmest September day in Bergen history (28.6 degrees), I took the last part of the day off for a cycling trip around Nordåsvatnet. The trip also included a minor detour to some small hills south of Indre Steinsvik ( Grønhaugen and Ospåsen). This turned out to be a very nice area with lots of narrow gravel paths (that one are not supposed to cycle on, something I only noticed when exiting the area). Not a lot of views from either of the two summits, which both had gravel paths all the way to the top, but there were wooden benches for a short rest.

Cycling: Rallarvegen and Austre Låghellerhøgdene

Date:
01.09.2024
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:59h
Distance:
40.7km

To take full advantage the warm and sunny weather, I decided to combine a bike ride along Rallarvegen with a visit of Austre Låghellerhøgdene . I had rented a bike in advance which I picked up at Finse after arriving by train from Bergen. Shortly, I was on the bike and cycling northwest along the overall good quality gravel road. After passing the highest point at Rallarvegen (at 1343 meters) I descended towards Fagernut . Just before getting to the cabin, I left the bike behind for a short off-trail hike to the summit of Austre Låghellerhøgdene. The ascent was straightforward, however finding the exact summit was more tricky with three minor hills to choose from. As usual, I simply visited all of them, before descending along more or less the same route. Back on the bike, I made a short stop outside Fagernut before continuing on the gravel road to Hallingskeid. >>>

Cycling: Svartavassrinden

Date:
25.05.2024
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
5:26h
Distance:
66.4km

Due to a weather forecast with potential rain showers in the afternoon, I opted for a cycling trip to visit Svartavassrinden . I had passed by this minor peak several times but never been to the summit. After 33 km on the bike, I left it at the end of the gravel road and completed the final short off-trail distance to the summit on foot. I returned the same way for a late lunch break back at the end of the gravel road. The trip was then concluded by cycling the same route to Lønborg, where I made it home just before it started raining.
