Rallarvegen is the old construction road navvies used while building our railway in the 19th and early 20th centuries. We were 36 adults and children this time and decided to rent bikes instead of bringing our own. I think that is wise, when we rent them we know we are secured with good breaks and tires. It was an awesome trip, 53 wonderful kilometers!

Though it is mostly down hill my body still aches, its a bumpy ride and in some areas you have to be really careful and concentrated, some places there are no fences and the view down is breathtaking.

This one kind of reminded me from a scene in Half Life 2 🙂

A weird view, can you see the train? (Flåmsbanen)

A charming bridge

We’re going down there?

Det var en helt fantastisk tur, ungdommen var utrolig flink – vi var 36 barn og voksne, alle kom i mål i Flåm med stil. Værgudene var med oss også, turen hadde nok ikke vært helt den samme om regnet pøset ned. Vi tok toget til Finse og hentet sykler vi hadde leid, så begynte turen. 53 nydelige kilometer ned til Flåm.

Selv om det stort sett bare er nedover bakke så kjenner jeg det godt i kroppen, tror ikke jeg hadde overlevd uten sykkelbukse. 🙂 Neste gang skal jeg ha skikkelige hansker på, det ble mye bremsing nedover, prøvde mest mulig å bruke pedalbremsen men da ble det litt skrensing i de tøffeste svingene. Håper det ikke blir lenge til jeg kan prøve Rallarvegen igjen, det var en drømmetur.

Dette minne meg litt om Half Life 2 🙂

En artig utsikt, ser du Flåmsbanen?

En sjarmerende bro

Vi skal ned dit?
