1 400km and 15 000 m of climbing in 6 days.
This is the route I used during a little vacation trip this week.
I have been hunting for the nicest roads of the southwest part of Norway with a simple start from Oslo. A « mini » dream that has been growing in me over the last years while struggling to find the time for it. A simple will of roaming freely with the minimum equipment. Pretty much biking every day. Enjoying. Looking at the nature, eating, cycling, and sleeping nothing else. If you really want stuff to happen you have to make it a priority otherwise it gets lost in the void of our too-busy life. 🙂 I am very happy I finally went for it. It has been 95% of pure pleasure, 05% of « happy suffering», a fair deal if you ask me😅. Thanks, Antoine Berthoud for having been a part of it! Always good to spend time with a good old friend outside 💚.
Ultra-Cycling is quite similar to Ultra-Running but I needed to gain specific experience for The Bright Midnight bike race 🙂 I learned a lot with this trip so I feel ready to tackle this 1100km bike adventure race in a month here in Norway.
What about running?
Well, my knee is still getting slowly from surgery but ACL recovery is just super long 🤯. So I am just keeping myself occupied with those bike projects. Not bad 😎. When I will be 100% back at running I will for sure ride more, and do few of those races/projects still! Traveling with your legs is an incredible feeling. (You don’t need to do 300/ days to enjoy it no worries).
To the next one ☝️ 🚴♂️💨
