Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
0:55h
Distance:
12.9km

Short local bike ride to test my new cycling gloves and to see whether my recent crash made me go significantly slower in the corners when going downhill. And I did notice that I was thinking more about the possibility of slipping in the sharp bends, but hopefully this will be back to normal soon.

Cycling: Barsnes toward Fimreite (with an abrupt ending...)

Date:
27.07.2018
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
1:48h
Distance:
20.8km

Today's plan was to cycle from Barsnes to Fimreite, perhaps also trying to visit Bjørnstigfjellet before returning. And it all started out very nicely with excellent cycling conditions, quickly making it to Kjørnes and the start of the old forest road towards Eide. The old forest road with its numerous roots was also easily traversed (with the exception of a short unnecessary detour towards the end). Now all that remained was to follow the limited-traffic paved road to Fimreite. Something I'd done several times before. However, in the second sharp bend down to Eide I suddenly felt my front wheel slipping on fine sand, and, no longer able to control the bike, ended up hitting and sliding along the pavement. Luckily my speed had not been very high, thanks to the very sharp bend, and I was thus not too badly >>>

Cycling from Lønborg to the trailhead for Bukkaberget and back. The hike across Bukkaberget is recorded in a separate report: Bukkaberget . Overall a very nice trip that for the most part was either on separate cycling/walking paths or along roads with limited traffic.

Cycling: Kalandsvatnet

Date:
02.06.2018
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.
