Yesterday Espen, I and about 470 others participated in Ultrabirken, 112 kilometers on gravel and tracks and at the end 10 kilometers on tarmac. We spent nine hours riding, pushing and carrying our bikes, had one puncture and one chain break – both off course less than 30 minutes before finish when we both were very cold, so we lost a great amount of time, but hey, we had no plans on winning, we did it for fun 🙂 And you can view the fun at Sportstracker
From Rena the night before, where we slept, together with a bunch of others

Our bikes after the race
We got an offer we could not refuse, car and bikewash
“…it never gets easier, it only gets faster…”
