Cycling: Nordåsvatnet + Grønhaugen and Ospåsen

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.
