After passing the arctic circle again we felt like almost home. We had time enough and decided to go for a detour to take a look at the famous Trollstigen. A guided ferrytrip from Valldal to Geiranger was one of the highlights here.

Many thanks to Bent, Elin and all our newfound friends in Bjerkvik for an outstanding event. It really was something quite out of the ordinary. If you ever decide to arrange another meet I'm sure all of us who went this time will return. If not we'll come again anyway, just for the friendly atmosphere, the beautiful surroundings and the outstanding biking roads. We can only hope the weather gods will be as benign once more.
