Instead of dusting off the old thread, I thought I'd start a new one...

Went on a ride this sunday. We spent 6 hours on the trails, a ride that would take about 3-5 to finish if you ride at a steady pace.

The weather and the trails, and the spots had us stop and shoot...ride up and down, play and laugh.

While the miles per hour-measuring was pretty low, smiles per hour went through the roof!

These mountains start 2hours from my house, are free to ride, and legal as can be. Every hiker we met laughed and smiled and though we where crazy.

Enjoy!!!

That little water crossing is pretty kick-ass!

 

[partsbara]

sick photos... looks like a great time... love the river crossing

 

[Nick]

looks like a great time! thanks.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Incredible pics.

Every turn you make around here seems to give you views of more trees.

 

[Slugman]

Awesome pictures - you should have this moved to the "ride report" forum!

 

[berkshire_rider]

Outstanding. Great looking trails, great looking views. Love the one-man cable-car for the river crossing.

 

[Qman]

great pix Jorgen!
Maybe one of these days I'll get back over there to ride with you again. This time I'll bring a spare XO rear d.

 

[robdamanii]

Those photos are awesome, but the river tram kicks even MORE ass.

 

[Toshi]

nice. funny how compact cameras and dSLRs handle the sky/clouds differently (i'm guessing the blue skies + non-blown out clouds = dSLR).

 

[simplexity]

Guess again.

Canon G6.

Nice shots Jorgen. Is that anywhere near Kristoffer's parent's cabin (Oppdal area)?

 

[Jorgen]

It is close to that area, yes.

Nerskogen to Jødalshytta.

Cameras used: G6 with small external flash, and a G5 with a remote flash.

 

[binary visions]

Very nice pictures! I'd PM Echo or IAB and request that this thread be moved to Ride Reports just so that it doesn't get buried as quickly but it's up to you.

Beautiful terrain.

 

[Changleen]

Awesome, looks like so much fun.

 

[SkaredShtles]

That looks like some *fine* land out there, mate!

 

[Konabumm]

Nice Pictures

 

[Echo]

Moved at Jorgen's request

 

[Biscuit]

I've now added Norway to the list of places I must visit/ride.
I hope you know how lucky you are to have trails like that totally open.


And that water crossing thing would never, ever work in California. Not necessarily because of the legal implications, but because most Californians are too f'ing stupid to hang on.


edit: I guess I'm in kindof a bitter mood this morning. Fed up with stupid people.

 

[Biscuit]

These pictures here are making me hate being stuck at work today.
I want to go ride my bike

 

[blue]

Time to move. AWESOME!

 

[FBTMILF]

Shweet!

 

[Trigger]

Well Jørgen...Norway rocks, and we know it

 

[bluebug32]

river tram is worth the ride alone!

 

[splat]

lad this got Moved , I missed it in the lounge.


that 1 man Cable car WOW is all I can say !

as forthe rest ofthe Pics

 

[sally struthers]

It is close to that area, yes.

Nerskogen to Jødalshytta.

I thought so. I'll be in the area (and allegedly staying at Kristoffer's cabin) next week so your pictures increased my stoke even more.

Cya,

An Ugly American.

 

[Jorgen]

Beautiful. I love Norway.

 

[renorider40]

Every body has already said it but, The cable crossing over the river is sweet.

A annual gathering at Skeikampen, Norway, 18th and 19th of august, curtesy of the website www.terrengsykkel.no the only site for mountainbikes in Norway...friday had 80 riders, saturday had 130. With beer, cabins, good food...and great riding!

Enjoy!

Cruisin'

A selection of riders from the saturday ride... my group rode for 3-5 hours(rain made my group cold and beerthirsty) the rest rode for 5-6 hours.

Some guy!

Sorry, Intense in the mountains...

the usual powwow after a nice downhilltrail...riders contemplating the next part.

Check out the eyes on the rider in the back...well, he crashes a split-second after this pic :-D

Afterride-snack

Homemade frame...Johnsen Frameworks

More afterride snacks...

To the trailhead! Fireroad heaven!

Christian og Kristoffer hovering along...Turner represent

Note the one guy not carrying his bike UP!

Of 130 riders he was the only one who made this short but VERY steep climb. Good job!

Sweet trails...

Me goofing off

Kristoffer enjoying himself...alot!

More cruisin'

Even more...

the camp...or parts of it. The GT-importer joined us and made sure we didn't get wet if rain came...

As I said...annually gathering

 

[DaveW]

Beautiful countryside over there.

[Jorgen]

Well, three days of beerdrinking...or afterride-drinks, and a lot of people... :-D
