Home again! A total of 763 km and 9000 m total ascent from Bergen.
Uneventfull ride on well known roads. Codl and grey start of the day, but dry.
 |
| Cold start of the day. July. at sea level! |
 |
| The Surna valley -and now really back in Trøndelag |
 |
| Coffee and vafler here - quite good in fact |
I have been quite critical against the road authority, Vegvesenet, with respect to their attitude to cycling. But they have web cameras all around the country that you can access on the web.

| Vegvesen FV65 Øvre Rindal |
I have also complained about the lack of signs warning crossing cyclists when a cycle lane shifts from one side of the road to the other. They do have signs for horses though.

| Horses crossing |
For the lowest pariah cast, cyclists, warnings are clearly not necessary.
And then a final bit of food along the Orkdals- and Trondheimsfjord.
 |
| Nice view, table and benches(!), great weather by now |
And that was it.
I forgot one reason why I am doing this. An inner urge. I remembet the famous long distance skater Jan Roelof Kruithof said, when asked, totally exhasuted. why he did it after the 1985 200 km 11 city skating race (and without any comparison with him): because I have to.
What next? I don't know. We'll see. Don't really feel like quitting my cycling career yet.
Congratulations! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are never to old to cycle. I meet guys of 80 and 84 years and they cycle like me, which, if you are critical, of course not necessarily says a lot ��. Just wait until you retire and you'll see. A new period in your life starts again!
