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 Låghellerhøgdane

Dato:
01.09.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:59t
Distanse:
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 Låghellerhøgdane . 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 Låghellerhøgdane. 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

Dato:

Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
5:26t
Distanse:
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.

Cycling: Hordvikneset

Afternoon cycling trip with the main objective of visiting the trig marker at Hordvikneset . Upon arriving at Balane I left my bike behind and continued on foot. At first I failed to find the trailhead and ended up in a playground where my progress was quickly blocked by a fence. The proper trailhead was however located next and I could then follow a surprisingly nice trail almost all the way to the trig marker. For the final stretch a much weaker trail had to be used but in the end the marker was reached without any issues. No views at all from the trig marker but given the nice trail I assumed there would be better views close by. I therefore returned to the main trail and followed it north to Kråkeberget (now added as its own PB-element) where I was rewarded by great views towards Norhordlandsbroen, Holsenøy, Flatøy and Knarvik. >>>

Distanse:
54,9km

For the third summer in a row (see the first two trips here and here ) I returned to Bømlo and once more brought the bike with me on the high-speed passenger ferry from Bergen to Rubbestadneset. Here I started the GPS tracking and cycled south towards Børøya. At the top of the last hill before descending to Nautsundet I followed a short dead-end gravel road to an unmarked trailhead referred to as Falkastigen. Here I left the bike behind and continued on foot to Børøysåta and Børøyklampen . See the separate report here . After returning to the bike, I cycled the short distance north and then southwest to the marked trailhead for Lyklingfjellet . I could probably have cycled further on the tractor road, but as it quickly got rather muddy, I again left the bike and continued on foot to the summit. See the separate report here . I still had plenty >>>

Cycling: Ytstafjellet

Distanse:
52,1km

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.
