Early bike ride: Tunsjøen – Skottdalen – Korsbekken – Langfoss

Woke up 06:30 today, very nice weather and the youngest one at his grandparents – got up and had a quick breakfast and headed out. A bit chilly, sometimes when walking over bog’s the water froze to ice on the tyres when I stopped. Apart from that, all fine.

End of the road and now on to the road less travelled.

Passing just by the border of Prestehesten nature reserve

No road, had to carry the bike. 3-4 km which I had to push and carry the bike over bog. Tried to avoid to get wet since it was chilly and therefore it was a bit of ups and downs – mostly ups.

Bog

Skottdalen, a bit to wet to ride the bike, had to push it.

First bike ride this year

Yesterday I had the first bike ride this year, and actually the first bike ride since the 31’st of July 2014 (!!!). A bit chilly, but apart from that really nice weather at Korsbekken.

Colonel Kruse and the Battle of Riser bridge

Yesterday the Battle of Riser bridge which took place on the 9’th of March in 1716 was recreated at Løken. Very enjoyable, but must admit that we did at first have a hard time figuring out who was the Norwegians and who where the Swedes. Read more about it at Wikipedia . Afterwards I had to do communal duty work selling hot dogs and waffles, quite hectic – a lot of people
