03.07.20 Molde (Bolsøy) - Surnadal

103  km, cycling time 06:04, average speed 17.2 km/h, total ascent 1378 m, net descent 100m



Tough finish as you can see from the altitude profile. Rain showers coming and going all day, but mostly avoided them.

After breakfast, Robert drove med to The western end of Tussentunnel on road 64. I had intended to use E39, but this way I avoided the much heavier traffic on E39. Good suggestion, thanks. I could have biked road 64 all the way, but that involves an additional 200m climb.

The impressive Gjemnessund bridge. 40 m climb though 

Nice to have a cycling lane...

For me this nicely symbolizes Vegvesen's (road authourity) and their former colleagues Mesta's attitude to cyclists: neglect, indifference, arrogance.

It was almost impossible to pass. Not sure I managed without scratching the car. Did they have a job to do? So walk, take another vehicle, or park more to the right. These guys have a LONG way to go before Norway becomes a cycle friendly country.

View from the top of the bridge

And that is how the bridge is secured
Surprisingly "tiny"

Another fjord, another bridge. Floating this time. That means, no ascent

How do they handle the tides on floating bridges?

Another typical example

Back in Trøndelag

After shifting of local borders, Halsa is now part of Trøndelag. But soon after I was back in Møre og Romsdal.

Staying the night at Thon hotel Surnadal. Intend to get home tomorrow, although it is 126 km. But for a last day...
