Day 17.
It's around 3:30.
Oh dear sun.
I just spent a '' beautiful '' night on my...
In my room with a concrete floor.
I've just pack my things.
I'm going to eat a few things.
There are picnic tables there.
Just a little.
I have a fruit salad waiting for me, I will eat it a little later,
when it will be a little warmer.
It's good thing that I found myself a shelter because it's about ... 10 degres.
Probably even a little less.
So I eat three to four bites and I go.
While riding, I will surely warm up, until the sun ...
I mean right now the sun is up, it's already up, but it still behind
trees and mountains.
So it'll start warming up in maybe two hours.
It's time for me to leave, it's cold.
It's really cold.
A little over 140km to go today.
So let's say a little less than 150.
I think it's going to be ok, I'll ...
Yesterday with all my misfortunes of bad roads, I make some detour, but
I decided to change my route a bit.
I take a bit of a shortcut.
So yesterday I managed to do 128km, but ...
Getting out of the city was quite hard with all those turn left, right, pass
below, over roads ...
It took a lot of time.
It slows me down a lot.
Today I follow Highway 40.
That's it.
Highway 40 brings me to Geilo, which is where I'm going to sleep tonight, in a bed!
I hope so.
Let's go.
We begin to see the first rays of sun, according to me within half an hour
I should be able to get some heat.
A little.
It will do good.
Because here I am really ...
I'm fine, but I'm dressed thick.
It's not the best thing to ride a bike.
It will be hot sometime.
Temperature side it's better and better, the sun is not yet visible
from where I am, but he came out.
Now it's 6 o'clock.
Now it's a little bit better.
It was really cold earlier.
As soon as I find myself a place to eat in the sun, I stop.
Ahh !!! Yeah!!
I know I said the first sunny place, but now I can't wait.
I'm hungry.
So I'm going to eat my fruit salad.
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah I'm going to eat all that.
Oh yes it feels good!
He'll even have room after that.
Oh yeah! Life is Beautiful.
8:10, hamburgers and hot dogs are already ready.
I took a chocolate cake, but ...
Phew ... I'm tired ah!
I still have a lot of rode to ride.
I am still at 75km in a straight line.
A 140km day today.
The day is going to be tough.
It goes up and it goes down more and more.
I think Geilo is ...
It is a village that is still quite high.
Then I go up and down, up dan down, but still climbing a little more.
Ah !!
I am tired.
It was really not the best night of my life.
I sleep so much better a real bed, rather than on concrete, in cold.
What I like the most in nature are the mountains.
Water stuff are beautiful, but it does not excite as much as a mountain.
But now...
The water spot in Norway are amazing.
I think that's the best thing that there is to do in Norway.
It's exploring its small roads and see it's nature.
It is really wonderfull.
Since this morning that I left and it is stuff like that all the time.
All the time all the time.
That's wonderful.
Ah! I wanted the sun so badly this morning and now it strike me so hard.
But is it me or that church has more an Asian style than Norwegian.
No?
In Norway there are two types of people.
Those who stop their engine every time they can, when they arrive at a red light
or see even I saw a few times at a stop.
Or those who do not care at all.
Ah, I want to die!
It's been a lot of kilometers that I climb and it's always climbing
it's gently climbing, but it goes up since a while.
Right now I am at 686M of elevation and I was starting to ask myself
when it will stop climbing and I've just found that.
This is a warning because there will be high elevations.
So here, right now, I'm here.
At my 686M, and it will go up to 1100M.
At 7 to 9%.
To go down to 850M and go back to 1000M to go down to 800M, to go back to more than 1000M.
Up to 10%.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHH !!!!
Ha! No! I don't want to do it.
It's been 99km since I left this morning.
There I have 41 left to reach the city.
Yes because after all the ups and downs down, I arrived.
It ends quite tough.
And already now, since this morning I climbed 850 meters.
And I think I'm going to double that.
In 41km.
If not more.
Ah! I don't want to do it.
I have just stopped for at least 10 minutes.
In a shelter in the shade.
Because there is not only that.
The sun burn like hell and I am
doing a huge physical activity so I'm hot.
And the sun is falling on me, I'm overheating.
If I had a little needle like in cars, well earlier I was in the red.
Ah! I have half of the first climb done.
I could have done it by car, motorcycle or maybe I could just not do it at all!
No me for my holidays I decided to suffer on bicycle.
Yeah, well done.
Bravo super good idea.
There are people who decide to lie on the beach, I decide to suffer on bike.
Oh yes I find myself super smart, super smart.
Yeah! Bravo!
Ah !!
Do you see that how easy it is by cars.
He press on the gas and it goes up.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Beautiful invention by the way.
Oh! That, I'll be able.
Just release the brakes and Yahoo.
But I would have liked prefer it goes up a single time than all flat up to the end
Rather that this up and down, up and down and finally up and down.
Big big hills.
Yeah, whew ...
It's a special place. Like a forest desert with scattered houses everywhere.
It is special.
Ah !! My first climb is done.
I still have three descents and two climbs.
Visibly in Norway, they can sell products that are past date
and that's where they put it at a discount.
So today is the 22nd if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway stuff at 50% in Norway is fun, that's made at normal prices.
Ah! Second summit is reached.
He was really less bad than the first.
The last one is the one that scares me the most.
It's not the longest climb, but it is the one with the highest inclination.
But at least it's going to be the last.
In a straight line I am at 15km of arrival.
Phew ...
What a day!
Oufff !! Finally, I think I'm done with the elevation.
It was time because I no longer have energy.
I think I have something left to do in there, and then it goes down to the city.
I have almost no pedal stroke to do, I think ...
It's still pretty ridiculous.
I just ordered a kebab because it's what was less ridiculous
to order on the menu.
I mean to avoid spending a fortune and for $ 17 I get that.
That's all.
Okay, now I'm going to find myself some food at the grocery store to fill my hunger
because my $17 plate did not do it.
I wonder what is the average salary of people here.
Because for $17 in Canada, you stomach is overfill.
Or you ate so well.
I mean it was good, but tabarouette it's crazy.
It's crazy.
Well! Grocery.
Good finally made it to a place with a bed.
It's going to be a so good tonight.
And here I am going to watch the journey I had planned to do tomorrow.
Maybe, modify it.
I do not know what I'm going to do tomorrow.
I'll go back to watching this.
I recharge all my stuff and again tonight, the cheapest place I found ...
Oh no, not the cheapest, there was places where could I sleep
in dormitories but ...
Not tonight.
Tonight I want to sleep well.
Here's my room.
It's cool it's a place ...
It's an old home that they have completely renovated.
It's brand new.
And I have my own bathroom.
There is something I still do not understand.
Since I'm in the Scandinavian countries, all showers have no ledge.
So when we take a shower, it makes water everywhere in the bathroom.
I do not understand.
But OK.
There are worse things in life.
But still, it's a good idea to put shower flanges and it does not cost much.
Okay, so I get to work and I see you tomorrow.
