Cycling: Barsnesfjorden

Date:
08.08.2019
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.

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:

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:
29.06.2019
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.

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.
