The start to Bergen on the E10 cycle path was still nice. We finally had to go through the city. Mostly well built and almost without traffic lights. Almost just rolling down.
Then it gets colourful.
Along the harbour.
Out east, the roads were much worse. Very steep, often on mini-roads. 1x 25% and then single road. Oncoming traffic every now and then.
Here a bus.
As we crossed several islands and peninsulas, we drove over several medium and longer bridges.
The children found our Alphas 7 very fun.
Today there were more annoying drivers, but also enthusiastic spotters.
At first everything went well. Then a chainring bolt fell off Biggi's bike. Someone didn't tighten it (me?) and didn't we want to get longer ones? Because of the Bafang motor and the Precialps adapter, it was not easy to get at it. Then finally done. Then the front derailleur was misaligned. The chain had got stuck. The front derailleur has two grub screws for adjustment. They mustn't go in too far, otherwise they get stuck. So I did everything wrong that I could. It really took up a lot of time.
There were thousands of hills, always at least 7%. In the end we had an average of 20 km/h in motion. That says it all. At the bottom, there were bumps in the villages so that no one could drive through with momentum. You need real nerve there. It went on like that all day. The altitude profile says it all.
Quickly catch a ferry. On the ferry, coffee, tea, drinks... Sandwiches... everything to get yourself, scan and pay for yourself with a card. No attendant.
Here we shop in the multifunctional centre for companies, supermarket, flowers, disco.... Then to the campsite. Not so nice for a change.
