On a Tuesday??

Following our 5 hour mountain biking on sunday, steve decided we should all go out again on tuesday, well, only myself steve and neil made it out. it was basically an hour of painful climb up very very steep roads to the top of holmenkollen, then flying through the forest on the way back. now you see, my issue with the uk, and this may or may not be typical, is that on a rainy windy tuesday evening in the uk, id get home late from work, have dinner, watch tv and go to bed...this is why i like to live abroad, and especially in olso, because theres so many things to do during a week in the evening...maybe its just me, maybe its the feeling on being on a 'semi-holiday' when youre abroad, i dont know, i just think its easy to fall into a rut in the uk of work/dinner/tv/bed.

anyway...we start riding from the centre of oslo, so all of the views in the photos are literally a short bike ride from the city

this ride actually defies physics...its 1 hour of uphill, then on the way back, its 20 mins of downhill, followed by 40 mins of more uphill....go figure?

ended up in the vigelandsparken sculpture park on the way back...
