Cycling: Håsteinen and Slettåsen

Distanse:
58,1km

After two days of hiking, I switched to cycling for the last day of the long weekend and I went for a trip to Hjellestad with the added bonus of also making a quick visit of Slettåsen - a minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I left the bike behind at the unmarked trailhead northeast of the summit. The trail quality was highly variable, especially for the later return, but (at least the start) the wet areas were covered by planks or pallets. From Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's trip report , I had gotten the tip to also visit Håsteinen . So when a sign for Håsteinen showed up, I followed a trail to a location that provided great views, especially for only being 45 meters above sea level. Next, I followed various trails towards Slettåsen, even passing a sign for Slettåsen. But there was no trail and the highest point was slightly further south anyway. As it turned >>>

Cycling: Storahugen

Distanse:
32,2km

Short bike trip with the main objective of visiting Storahugen , yet another new minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. Not much to say about this one. Limited views, but at least it can be easily accessed via a trail from the north. And getting to the trailhead by bike was straightforward, which overall made for a more interesting trip. When at the summit I also noticed that there are plenty of other small named hills in the area. So I have a feeling I'll be coming back when more of these are added to the Alle topper i Bergen list. But given that I had not in advanced looked into whether any of these could be easily accessed or not, this would have to wait.

Cycling trip along Dalavatnet starting from Hollekvebrui p-lomme and going all the way to Anestølen before returning. Most of the trip was on a paved road with very little traffic before a gravel road took over for the last stretch in to Anestølen. Overall the paved road was of good quality, however one should pay attention as there are areas where frost heaving has damaged the pavement. I of course managed to hit one of these tiny holes at a time when I was paying more attention to the views than the road, and in some strange way managed to tumble over the handle bars of my bike and hitting the asphalt. Luckily my speed was very low and I got way with only minor bruises and could continue cycling, but now paying at least slightly more attention to the road. In summary, an excellent trip with spectacular views along the >>>

Cycling: Siggjo, Furefjellet and Vardafjell

Dato:

Turtype:

Turlengde:

Distanse:
42,5km

I started by cycling to Strandkaiterminalen, from where I took the high-speed ferry to Rubbestadneset. Here I started the GPS tracking and headed south along the roads to the trailhead for Siggjo , generally on either separate cycling/walking paths or on roads with limited traffic. It should however be mentioned that while the area was overall well-suited for cycling, the signs for cyclists leave a lot to be desired, as basically there were none. I therefore struggled a bit when getting to the highway south of Rubbestadneset and trying to figure out how where the cycling path continued. After reaching the valley between Siggjo and Furefjellet called Åreiddalen, I easily located the unmarked trailhead for Siggjo and continued from there on foot. See the separate trip report here . Upon returning to my bike, I cycled >>>
