A bit of malfunction yesterday when out bike cycling. Was supposed to go on a ride with Petter, together with the rest of Rye, but take a closer look at the picture – my chain ring should be mounted on my bike, not be in my hand!!

First time running in two years
Today I struggled trying to decide what to do, go out with my MTB, or my racer bike, or lift weights, so after hours of trying to make a decision I ended up running. I have not done an hour of running in more than two years due to my injury after running 5 marathons in one year. My legs are feeling a bit sore, but nothing extraordinary taken in consideration that it is two years…
I ran around Lutvann, took me an hour…it’s good to be back! (Hopefully)
Still – raining
We went out to Nesodden earlier today and I took my bicycle so I could use it to get back home. Great plan, had it just not been for the rain. About 30 minutes before I started it started raining cats and dogs. I must admit that I’m looking forward to our vacation – two weeks without my bicycle. Have spent almost 15 hours this week riding either my MTB or my road bike, its fun 🙂
Øyern rundt with Espen
Espen and I spent a bit more than 5 hours on our bicycles cycling all the way around Øyern today. All in all almost 150 kilometers. I’m a bit tired right now, and Espens knee is hurting.
We passed Solbergfoss power station where we stopped for five minutes http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solbergfoss_kraftverk
I go bicycle riding….
We went to visit Pia and Arve yesterday and stayed there for one night. I brought my bike so today I went bicycle riding home from Tønsberg. Due to the road work in the tunnels on the highway, E18, I did not want to cycle along the road from Holmestrand with its heavy traffic. So instead I cycled to Horten, took the ferry to Moss and went along the road passing Elvestad, Enebakk and Rælingen. All in all 115 kilometers, passing three county’s: Vestfold, Østfold and Akershus.
Somewhere between Ringvold and Elvestad I also spotted an elk only 10 meters from the road. It ignored me totally, instead it stood there eating.
There is no such thing as bad weather
…only crappy clothes. Did Lillehammer – Oslo yesterday, also know as Lille Styrkeprøven http://www.styrkeproven.no. Started with Sportsklubben Rye and had no problem to hang in there all the way to Minnesund. Then I really had to take a piss, so I was not able to catch them up, but that did not matter because then I had to really struggle to keep the pace. Up until then it was not hard, just wet – wet – wet, but from Minnesund I felt the hla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leukocyte_antigen flooding in my legs. I passed the finishing line at the time of 5.25 – quite happy with that one. There results are available here http://results.ultimate.dk/live/front/index.php?e=422&t=www&l=no
And my car passed 60.000 kilometers yesterday when Elin was on sightseeing at Hedmark, Hurdal and Jessheim 🙂
It’s hot – this years first swim
It is about 29 degrees celsius today here in Oslo. We have spent the weekend at Vestreng, yesterday me and Espen helped with preparing the fence for the herd which will arrive in a few days. Today I had planned to ride my bike for about 150 kilometres, but I resigned, it is to hot. So instead I did only 55, and half way I met Elin and her father and we went for a swim in Mjermen http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mjermen
Walking 4 kilometres
Today I had to walk 4 kilometers, not an impressing distance, but then again – it was annoying. I was out with my bicycle for a short ride. When I started I realized that I had forgotten my backpack, but I thought that I would not need it. So there I was 40 minutes later on my way home when the sound “pssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh” came, quite loud – I had a puncture!! So I had to walk back home wearing my cycle shoes…my legs are hurting!
I have bought a new bike
On Sunday I decided to ride Lillehammer – Oslo http://www.styrkeproven.no/ on the 23’rd of June. So now I have to get real and do some real training. So now I have bought a new bike to get real. And I also did the mistake to notify Espen, so now I have to ride the express heat… doh…
But anyhow, here is a picture of my new bike, a Everest Imagma

This years first bicycle ride
Yesterday I was out for the first time this year with my bike. Early this year compared to last year. Not excellent conditions yet, a bit slippery out on the gravel roads still. Had to take my time down the hill shown on the picture, but with massive dirt tires everything goes…
