Year 2012, april 16.

This year I start my cycle to job activity earlier than ever before. My first ride was before Easter. I also have practiced travelling "car and bike" some times. Today is my first early morning ride.
At 6:30 I'm ready to go, it's a bright morning, sky is blue, but temperature is low, -1,5 C. I dress in wool underwears, double jersey, double jacket, knitted cap under the helmet and of course gloves. Half an hour later, close to Ytre Arna, the sun rise.


From Ytre Arna there is heavy but rather short uphill. I wonder how many meters I have to climb here (checked this later on a web-map: height level at at the intersection to E16 is 70 m). I would also like to know the whole height profile on the road to my job. There are some short uphills and some longer, in total can it be more than 200 m?

The next hour through Åsane today' s ride is a nice experience, however closer to the city I reach this obstacle:


This temporary construction has lasted for many months. The reason for this tragic condition is roadworks to expand the lanes for cars. Cyclists are patient, and we hope that this "hens path" finally will be removed in short time.
