Afternoon Ride

Lunch Ride

I am not sure why but I sort of expected the main path I went up towards Grefsenkollen to be snow and ice free. Obviously it was not. There is still a good layer of icy, slushy snow over large parts of it. When you combine this with a relatively narrow trye, with minimal tread, pumped fairly hard and steep uphill sections, you will realise… yeah I had to walk large parts.

Nonetheless I am not totally dissapointed. I cycled more than you might expect and even suprised myself. Plus it allowed me to scout out the conditions so that I can make a better judgement call next time.

In any case, if I am honest, even with a more appropriate setup I think it would have been almost impossible to get up some of those sections (at least for me). I might have pulled it off with an electric fat bike… but otherwise. 🤷🏼

P.S. One other good thing. I used a couple of small, steep downhill sections to test how well my brake works. It actually works really nicely and I feel like I could go down silly grades now without destrying my knees and fearing for my life. Perhaps I will try the steepest ski slope when the weather turns.
