Spring riding Good Friday or April 19th, if you like. Regardless, it was one fantastic day in the southern parts of the country. Truth be told, during this…read more>>

Mid-March is a climatically confusing period
Mid-March is a climatically confusing period in the SometimesBackwardsKingdom of Nor-Way. People (some) long (strongly) for spring. However, a) very b) awfully frequently these people find themselves in a emotional, fictitious battle. This battle takes place, every other day, with the not-to-want-to-perish King Winter. All while his “autobot” cannons, fires off an impressive amount of…read more>>
Last leg(s) – 2018 Summer adventure (Part 15)
Last leg, or legs. Time had caught up with me. It would be a 3 day sprint. I wanted, and needed, a few days rest at home before returning to mundane life. But even if the adventure was nearing the end, there still was some time left for explorations. I had no intention of wasting…read more>>
Started with rant, evolved into a point (?)
It started with me being reminded by “FnordsBook”. Thrown in my face logging in this morning. On this exact day exactly one year ago, to be exact. It was a pretty uninteresting picture taken out of a window on second floor, showing how much snow we had, and how much had fallen during the night….read more>>

A Nordic skiers log, about the boring and the good
The winter of 2017/2018 have brought back snow, in plenty, to the Nordic, my region. And the country as a whole. It would be correct to say this winter will go down in history as a snowy “blast from the past”. A sign of change? Who knows, maybe it does represent changes in the (global)…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 13, Switzerland (again)
Liechtenstein wasn’t exactly over exciting. No parties in the streets, nothing spectacular but pleasant enough, and all fine by me. Now it was back into Switzerland. Auf Wiedersehen Liechenstein Morning came, heavy rain clouds were hanging over the hills and mountains. It had rained during the night, and prospects for the day weren’t too good….read more>>
Pics from another Autumn ride, season not over yet!
Autumn have clenched its cold fist around most of Norway. Sent gusts of cold polar winds down along the coastline, across mountains and into valleys. It’s all good, though on a personal note I have to say I hope we’re in for a short and mild winter. On the other hand I’d like at least some…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 7, Slovakia
Left Zakopane in the morning, set course for the Tatra Mountains and Slovakia. With high expectations for mountain road crossing that actually never took place.
