Alarm
went off at 0300 but the lazy bum did not get up until 4, and then did not set
off until 5. The reason for early starts: less traffic. There is nothing like down
hill cycling early in the morning. Everything I sweated for yesterday paid
off.
More of the rolling hills today but some how
it was better. Cyclists say you should pedal on the down hill too. I get the
reasoning but 2 fingers to them. I say rest your legs as much as you can.
There
were 2 problems with the route today: one Måndalen tunnel and, two, Innefjord tunnel. The first being 4,4 km long, the other being 6,6km. I found out the first one has a cycle track
on the outside. For the Innefjord tunnel, I had to call in the big guns - Amrit
the convoy leader and our very own general Nikolai, my logistics command.
I was
picked up outside one end of the tunnel and
dropped off at the other end. No cheating
guys. Had a great lunch with the family and said my good byes. I wont be
seeing them again until I am in london. At this point I had already reached my
goal of the day. Day was still young so I pedalled on for another 25 km. Sun was out so I got my holiday day tan.
Tomrrow is all climb. Just up. So let's see what
happens.
