When back at the hotel room at half past two tonight I noticed a strange sound from the window. Looking out through the wide open window, just 4-5 meters away, a couple was “doin’it”. Just pulled the curtains together and let them have their way, but afterwards I was pretty close to throw water on them since they could not stop talking…
Have a few screws I need to tighten, so what is better than a new set of power tools. Got the screw driver as a birthday present and bought the drill quite cheap (hence no li-ion battery). No I just need all the parts and we’re on!
Yesterday me, Anders and my sister Ingrid headed down from Mosjøen towards Oslo. Started out at 10 o’clock in the morning, not sure how far we would get. But including at least six stops, including dinner at IKEA in Trondheim, we got all the way to Oslo just around midnight. Not bad, since Anders still is just a bit more than two years old. He was bored at the end, but then again, he could have spent more than two hours sleeping instead of looking for tractors, excavators and other things with engines.
Rainbow just around Koppang
After about two and a half hour out in the sun on my bike, and then playing with Anders I got a really nice bikers tan today. No good summer without a bikers tan with a sharp edge.
Went to visit Kåre yesterday, and since I could leave Anders behind at my fathers place I used my bike. Thanks to Facebook connecting people, I got company at Sjonfjellet. My classmate from the three last years of primary school, Torfinn, took his bike out for a ride and met me there, so Facebook is not always a waste of time. High quality time I must say, got to catch up the last twenty years on our bikes, as good as it gets! Had a short stop at another classmate from primary school, Magne, as well.
When riding back today the weather was as nice as it can get, sun from a clear blue sky. Had a very nice ride, stopped to talk with tourists, tried an alternative route outside the tunnel at Sjonfjellet, stopped to take pictures. All in all, just enjoyed myself.
Just before Utskarpen, Ranfjorden, and at the far end Valbogen, my destination today.
View towards Strandtindan, hope to go there next year with my bike. It should be possible to ride the bike almost all the way to the top without stepping out of your pedals.
Going up Sjonfjellet I wanted to avoid the tunnel. After a bit of searching I found the old road outside. About 1 kilometer of nice gravel road.
On the top of Sjonfjellet, the view towards Træna.
Visting my grandparents at Båsmoen I noticed the road, or I guess track or path is more correct. Anyhow, I could not resist the urge to go out and enjoy the nice weather so when Anders went to sleep I headed up towards Skillevollen. Quite sure I have not been there in almost twenty years so it was a tough reunion. Did not manage to bike all the way, but almost…need to be a bit more fit to make it, but I stopped just about 30 meters below where I took the first picture.
At the top, sweat as h…
Sportstracker, not a surprise, the “slow”-point is in the steepest part of the hill, but note, I talked to two women walking down when I had to get of the bike.
But note, vacation is also enjoying the local specialties… 🙂
Had to get rid of two sacks of fertilizer, so here you see pictures of me driving around the oat field with a John Deere 2140 owned by Elins uncle Erik.
Tried the rotary mover at Vestreng here the other day. Among all the places I used it to cut grass was around “Karenhuset” as it is called. As you can see, pretty nice result.
The only problem being some nails laying around there, causing a puncture… 🙁
This weekend I had my bachelor party, picked up in the morning by Espen and Loy. The sun was shining and we drove to Lillestrøm. Then Bendik picked me up in a roundabout and we drove a few metres to the kayak club. The two of us paddled for an hour or so, then we hooked up with the rest. Then a couple of more hours down to Gansvika.

Together with Bendik and two of his colleagues we did went with our bikes the track to Raumerrittet http://www.raumerrittet.no/. I spent 6 hours and 45 minutes out today from when I left home until I was back. Very varm today so I’m very tired now.
Here we stopped to take a bath nearby Hakkim
