Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
1:01h
Distance:
4.3km

Another short bike trip along Barsnesfjorden, but this time it started raining on the return. Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.

Bike trip - mixed
Duration:

Distance:

Ever since last year's attempt to cycle to Fimreite ended way too abruptly I had wanted to have another go. This time taking it very easy in the sharp turn where I had my unfortunate close encounter with the pavement last July, and thus this time making it safely down to Eide. From there the cycling was straightforward, though always seeming to include more climbing than I remember from previous visits. From Fimreite I continued west and later east along the gravel road, passing by two gates and a sign with no driving allowed. The gravel road was of good quality and far from steep, but the climb was still tough given the constant ascent providing little to no rest. More than once I considered leaving the bike behind and continuing on foot, but decided not to, given that the bike would be greatly beneficial for my >>>

Too warm for hiking. So I went for a cycling trip around Ulriken instead, passing by Nesttun on the way to the city center.

Cycling: Osterøybroen

Date:
25.07.2019
Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
3:41h
Distance:
62.8km

Partial trial run to test the feasibility of using the bike as the means of transportation for a visit of Hikletten . Should be doable, but will be a very long trip (more than 120 km for the cycling alone...). However, this test did not include the 400 meters ascent from Bruvik to the parking lot at Båtaleitet , which will clearly be the hardest part. Note: The strange zero meters above sea level in the middle of the profile is actually the crossing of Osterøybroen, which is not picked up when correcting the GPS elevation values.

Cycling: Råvarden

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
3:21h
Distance:
45.6km

After initially dropping out of the Bergen ≥ 50m pf. og ≥ 100 m.o.h. list , due to having to re-complete it several times when new rather uninteresting peaks were added, I decided to rejoin after realizing that the latest addition to the list, Råvarden , could be easily reached by bike, thus making for an overall more enjoyable trip. Had to get off the bike for the final 60 meters walk to the summit, which today provided even less views than usual due to the low-hanging clouds. Another one of those "been there, done that" peaks that I'm pretty sure I will not feel the need to revisit.

Cycling: Tellevik - Dalabygda

Date:
11.06.2019
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:13h
Distance:
33.6km

Alternative version of my usual cycling trip around Salhus, but this time taking a shortcut from Tellevik to Dalabygda in between Veten and Høgstefjellet . Note that the gravel road down to Dalabygda is not really cycling-friendly as it is too steep for normal cycling. But at least by going in this direction it is possible to stay on the bike for the whole trip, which is not really an option if going the opposite way.
