Trip Summary

After work, we still wished to get out and thus decided to make a bike-trip to Askøy. After following the main bike-route to Askøy, which follows first Kjøkkelvikveien, north of Loddefjord, before then continuing along Sundby Hvorups vei to connect to the large bridge, we then cycled up Stongafjellsvegen to get up to the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. In fact, it was possible to bike almost all the way up and we "only" had a few height meters left to walk, after leaving our bikes behind on the saddle in the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. After first enjoying the views from Dyrdalsfjellet, we then included also Varden at Øvre Kleppe for some more nice views. Once back to the bikes, we decided that we could make a round via Erdalen before heading back. We therefore continued to bike in northeastern direction to get to Bergheimvegen, which we then followed all the way around Storevarden. Via Svartedalsvegen, we then biked down to Erdal church. A bit further north, we then followed Erdalsvegen (in northwestern direction) to surround Kolbeinsvarden. At Lavik, we then connected to the major road 562, finding also some nice bike lane next to it. South of Juvik, we then departed from Ravnangervegen (road 562), heading for Kleppe (again). Cycling up to Øvre Kleppe, we got quite close to where we had been already earlier during this excursion. Through Holmedalen, we then made it all the way down to Klampavikvegen. From there, it was then back up to the bridge, over it, and all the way back via Loddefjord. A really nice way to finish the week! :-)
