Cycling: Gullfjellet roundtrip

Dato:

Turlengde:
7:02t
Distanse:
106,4km

Long cycling trip around Gullfjellet via Åsane, Trengereid and (almost to) Osøyro. Close to all of the trip was on either separate cycling paths or along roads with very limited traffic. The main exception being the section from Trengereid (from after the short tunnel above the roundabout) to Hisdal. Here the only option is to share the road with the high-speed traffic. It is therefore recommended to avoid cycling here at times when there may be a lot of traffic. Note that it is straightforward to avoid the second slightly longer tunnel just before reaching Hisdal. The trick is to use the nice gravel road on the south side of the tunnel. As a bonus you get a very nice view towards Samnangerfjorden. I passed through the first tunnel, as it was much shorter and there was not a lot of traffic, >>>

The main objective of the day was to visit Kleppavarden at Tysnes, and the trailhead was to be reached by bike. When I started cycling from Lønborg, low-hanging clouds were covering half of Askøy, and the clouds had still not started lifting when I arrived at Halhjem, where I was too early and had to wait more than 40 minutes for the ferry. When getting off the ferry at Våge, the clouds finally disappeared as I followed the main road to Søreidsvågen, from where I continued on the smaller Neshamnvegen to the marked trailhead for Kleppavarden next to Kongsviktjørna. Here I left the bike behind and continued on foot. See the separate report here: Nesevarden, Kleppavarden and Hovåsen from Kongsviktjørna . Upon returning to the bike, I still had plenty of time until the ferry at Våge, and I therefore first made a short detour to Neshamn before following the >>>

Cycling trip around Nordåsvatnet that included a revisit of Storrinden and the excellent views from southwest of the summit . When descending from Storrinden I made a quick detour on foot to Dolvikfjellet , easily reached via a marked trail, although the views from the summit were limited. Before starting my return journey, I made a short visit of Skranehovden , ascending from the northwest (again leaving the bike behind), thus avoiding the feeling of going through someone's backyard that the ascent from the south seemed to include. To my surprise the small hill was packed with people enjoying the nice weather, most likely as the forested summit area provided shelter from the cold northerly wind. But all the trees also meant that the views were rather limited, however some very nice views towards Knappen and Lyderhorn could be obtained if heading north of the summit.

Evening cycling trip to Casperkollen , a small hill that had recently been added as its own PB-element (after my earlier visit to the area to ascend Lerkhaugen and Lisahaugen ). I left the bike just north of the summit and completed the last 50 meters on foot. To my surprise there were trails all over the small hill, even to the summit itself. Rather limited views due to all the trees though. Casperkollen is not really worth a trip on its own, but worked fine as a goal for where to go cycling.
