Danm car!

I've been out bicycling again. As easter passed with a minor cough I had to disband my plans to bicycle a lot, and therefore today's trip with some Rye triathletes was much longed-for.

The trip started just as last time, following Griniveien before climbing over Kolsås to Lommedalen. This led to a re-run of the descent where I hit 65 km/h, so I figured let's try 70! For a while it seemed I might manage to break my previous record, and passing 60 was a breeze (literally...). But then, I caught up with a car and had to stop acceleration. Neither could I pass it on the fairly narrow and curved road, so I got stuck behind the car driving just above the 60 km/h speed limit.

Forest ride

The trip continued in hilly terrain, and expecting to find a "back route" to Asker we found ourselves bicycling through the forest only to turn at a radar station near Rustad. Judging by the surrounding buidlings, we thought the radar was completely abandoned and inactive, but all of a sudden there were noises coming from it! Sounded like some engine, and we concluded that the radar is still in operation. Hope none of us were fried from sitting directly underneath it...

Rolling again!

Pause at Blakstadtangen

On the last day of March, I had my first real bicycling trip this season with Line and Dag. In magnificent sunshine we had a nice trip around Kolsås to Blakstadtangen and back to Oslo, 73 kms in total.

Update:
Forgot to mention that I sat a new personal record with top speed at 65 km/h. Looking forward to hit 70 later this summer... ;-)

More pictures from Narvik

Just a small update to announce that I've published a few more pictures from Narvik. I've organized them chronologically into my photostream on Flickr, and you'll find them most easy by opening the narvik photo set.
