02.07.20 Ørsta-Molde (Bolsøy)

107 km, cycling time 05:51, average speed 18.4 km/h, total ascent 1106 m, net ascent 0



A good day on the job as they say in top sport 🙂. Despite a bad forecast earlier, fair weather in the morning, some rain in the afternoon. Not too bad.

Approaching 

For the night, I stayed with Warmshowers hosts Berry van den Bosch and her husband Robert. Hard to find better hosts I assume. Robert came to pick me up with the car, because cyclists are not allowed in the tunnel connecting Bolsøy island to the main land. I was served a fantastic dinner, and we talked a lot about cycling and other topics. Thanks a lot, Berry and Robert.

Warmshowers is an organization that provided shelter for the night to (long distance) cyclists. We are hosts ourselves, and it was great to be a guest for once and exchange experiences. I would encourage everybody who read this to become host - it is not requiring; cyclists send you a message, and you confirm if it suits you, and not if otherwise. Few obligations in fact. No need to serve food - although the cyclists of course appreciate very much if you do. Lot of interesting talk with (mostly) foreign cyclists. It would be especially good if more people living outside the big cities would participate. In Norway, very few do - so far.

More tomorrow. Idea is to continue to Surnadal.
