Vågå - Blåhøe
We have drooled over this hill since 2007 and found the way to include it is as prologue. Blåhøe is 15 kms up from Vågå and only the first km is asphalt. The rest is mostly smooth gravel, well doable with say GP4000 or similar top tires. The final few kms are rougher and you should see if your bike will take 28mms, cyclocross style or just a pair of extra puncture resistant thick rubbered tyres. You may do the prologue during given hours Friday and most of Saturday and of course inspect the track first. We will make sure there are spare bikes of different sorts that you can borrow. - And in classic viking spirit, your competitiors will surely lend you their own bike. Believe us, things will be fair, calm and definetely worth the trouble.
