01.05.20 First ride in 2020

Well, not really the first, had two 40 km rides on the racer, but first "tour".

Last year, there was a lot else and did not really get time for riding the bike. This year I would like to take a longer trip again, BUT wil Covid-19 allow? And, will my body cope? It felt a lot harder today then two years ago, but let's try.

Went from home today in familiar terrain, a trip of 64 km.


And, Trøndelag is not flat. Quite some up and down, enough in my present shape:

Today is the first of May, national holiday in Norway. Clouded, windy and chilly. But no rain. Below some impressions from the trip.


Look in the background: still lot's of snow in the ski tracks on Vassfjellet. They were close when the Covid-19 crisis started, but believe they could still be used today.

Lunchbreak on the side of the road. Right behind the snow. Altitude around 200 m.

BUT: spring is coming anyway. Fortunately!

Spring is also smelly - fresh manure

First of May in Melhus

What's this? Sawdust. That is, on top of snow. Norwegians never get enough of it and save it to next year 😃
