Out together with Dag Anders

Me and Dag Anders had a nice ride in Lillomarka. We started out from their house at Ammerud, followed the gravel road past Solemskogen and up to Movatn, and from there up to Burås. At Burås we had to search to find the single track towards Sinober. A lot of uphill so it was quite hard, but from Sinober to Lilloseter it is pure fun. All in all 2 and a half hour with both easy roads and technical single tracks.

Me and Dag Anders at Lilloseter. The camera on my cell phone is not that good when it comes to showing colors, just look at our legs… 🙂

Nissan Cup

On Tuesday I participated in Nissan Cup at Skullerud, a MTB-race, quite hardcore to other things I’m used to. Nice weather then, but it was wet since it had rained the days before. Funny anyhow, even if I did not make it to the podium 🙂 http://www.nissancup.no/NC2009/Ritt6/ritt6.htm

My bike was so dirty I had to stop at Esso to wash it

Having fun at Øyern Rundt

Last Sunday I was duing my duty for my club helping out at Øyern Rundt. One of the things I did was controlling the traffic at the last roundabout. A very pleasant task for an hour or so, then it got kinda boring. The race is about 120km, and the last few people uses almost 6 hours, gets kinda boring waiting for them I promise you.

First, I had some help of people from Lørenskog Cycleclub, they had their Petit Prix.

But then, all alone, and riders only every 5 minutes or so…good thing the weather was nice

Battlefield Heroes vs. Quakelive

Have been trying out http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ the past few days. Kinda funny and easy to get started with, but it was not all what I’ve expected. Quite long time ago since I read about it the first time, and was described as something that should be very funny. Ok, a bit funny, but avatars dressed funny…funny for a minute or two. And it is a bit slow to load, to many “Play now” clicks. And most of all, I have not figured out how to run, do not think it is possible, and that’s bad. If you are in a war, I guess you run a lot!!

So I actually prefer http://www.quakelive.com. It is also free, and you can play it fullscreen in your browser, and you run, you run like hell…

Spotify does not make money for artists

According to this article in VG there is not much music to earn by getting played at Spotify. Not hard to figure out why, just to try out the banners that pops up I clicked on one. It takes you to the webpage http://www.nettby.no where you have to register to view content, how laim is that? Also noticed that there are only three or four adds that have been circling for the past two weeks, I get so tired of them that I can’t stand to listen to Spotify more than a hour or two….

I got tickets to Hellacopters

Hellacopters are currently touring Europe on their farewell-tour after 15 years of playing rock’n roll. I’m doing my homework and listening to their concert from Hove earlier this year http://nrkp3.no/konserter/?klipp=382861 to be as prepared as possible before the concert. That, combined with a small amount of beer, and I expect that it will be one hell of a concert!! 🙂
