Norway day 2

2025-08-26

A great day of cycling. Today we had the option of kayaking or cycling. Three of us selected cycling, my son-in-law Phil who is 41 and done the Hawaiian Ironman, his friend Graeme who is 40 and was a professional triathlete and myself. It was a gorgeous ride essential circling a fjord.
Before this ride I thought the climb data might be incorrect because of tunnels. This true but yesterday Graeme was the only one to compete the ride because of 20-30mph headwinds. The ride was listed as 12.1k of climb. He registered 10.5k. Still an impressive ride.
I find the downhills harrowing. At the start of today's ride the temperature was 35 and the start was 6 miles descent at a 10% grade. I took the support vehicle to the bottom of the descent.

Impressive. Downhills are fun, but temps in the thirties (F) aren't. Good call. RSRO Sent 2025-08-26 from Jim Lyle

The scenery is amazing. Sounds like the "sane Al" has made a cameo appearance on this adventure. Sent 2025-08-26 from Gary Bruder

Proud on you for taking the support vehicle. How was the Blabaer nektar? Sent 2025-08-25 from Chuck
