I bought a new bike yesterday. I was wondering wether to buy a motor cycle or a new bike. I ended up with a new bike. Kona Kula Primo – bought at Bikes and Boards, Elin just loved to spend a couple of hours there yesterday 🙂 Read more about the bike here http://www.konabikes.co.uk/2k6bikes/kula_primo_2k6.php
Yesterday I was invited by my old colleague Helge from Bertel O. Steen to go water-skiing at Hurdalssjøen. That was plenty of fun – and belive it or not, not to cold either, not at least until I got back in my car. Had to increase the temprature up to 25 degrees for a while 🙂
Helge – he knows his way around on water-ski

For the second time in my life, and on only one ski!
A bit to reckless, and I took a dive…
I was out with my bike yesterday. The plan was to only use the gravel roads, but when the road ends and the only possible way further is floodlit track I had no choice. At first the track was quite dry and ok to ride a bike on, but the further I went the more moor it was, and less dry track. It all ended like the picture shows. I pulled my bike up and kept on, impressing myself because even with water up to the pedals, the bike just went on and on. After about 500 meters or so I finally came to the road I thought I was riding on…
Yesteday me and Espen went out with our bikes, trying to do the same route we tried last year. The first time we tried we missed our way in an intersection and ended up out in the moor. Yesterday we choosed the right way where we missed it last time, but still managed to miss at another intersection. That caused us to walk with our bikes for at least one hour…doh!! But all good things are three as said in Norwegian…
Today, or more correct – yesterday, Espen, Elin and me went to Eksismoa http://www.eksismoa.no, despite Anders Glende lack of acceptance, to watch banger racing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banger_racing. We had a lot of luck, it rained cats and dogs right until ten minutes before we arrived, after that it was no rain and a bit of sun. We also meet Bunæs there, and joined him and his friend. Elin loved it!!

Tried to buy a pair of new Elan Mantis 777, but a stinking guy bought the last pair right in front of me at Oslo Sportslager. 15 minutes later I passed by G-Sport and they had a pair of Head Mojo 90 left. I got them for half the price…yess!!! They are good enough for Jon Olsson, so it should be enough for me 🙂

10 degrees below zero, “Blå Swix”, one hour – lovely!!!
Thanks to Espen for good advices
Biking is not the same anymore. Buy your stuff at the same place as us, crapy site, but what the heck http://pws.prserv.net/fast-bikes/. And how is it in use? Look for Sigma Mirage http://terrengsykkel.no/img.php?d=guide/tester/lykter2005&id=1424

A serious accident has left the Peugeot Sport team in mourning this Sunday morning during the last leg of the Wales Rally GB. Markko Martin left the route shortly after the start of the second stage of the day and hit a tree on the right hand side of the car, mortally wounding his co-driver Michael Park. Peugeot Sport’s Director, Jean-Pierre Nicolas, with the agreement of Mr. Frederic Saint-Geours, Managing Director of Peugeot, has decided, as a sign of mourning, to withdraw the car of Marcus Gronholm – Timo Rautiainen.
Peugeot Automobiles and Peugeot Sport would like to express their feeling of extreme sadness and deep emotion to the family of Michael Park, known affectionately as Beef.
