Iceland; land of glaciers and lava (2018)

Posted on 11 May 2020 by ronnielinda

We knew Iceland was going to be a challenge and an adventure. We had read the stories of other people and decided on a route we would like to ride. And it indeed turned out to be an adventure and a challenge. While at home and in all of Europe they were suffering through the hottest summer ever, we were in Iceland suffering through their wettest summer ever. And that while it’s not the driest destination anyway.

The adventure already started straight from leaving the house. We wanted to go to the airport by train, but part of the route was not possible due to construction. So we were taken to the first train station from where we could reach the airport without problems. From there on the train ride went fine and we arrived at the airport quickly. Continue reading →

Noorwegen/ Norway

We were almost blown and flushed out of our tent in Røros, but the next day the weather was a lot better. It just was very cold due to the strong, icy wind. From there on, we started on our way home since we would be going South again. Continue reading →

Sweden; land of Volvo, endless forests and lakes

We decided to go to Scandinavia again this year and just hope for good weather this time. We drove to Frederikshavn in Denmark, left the car behind on a hotel parkinglot and rode our bikes onto the ferry to Göteborg.

Spring/ summer 2017

Posted on 8 October 2017 by ronnielinda

The leaves on the trees are starting to change color and starting to fall. That means, unfortunately, that summer is over again. The days are getting shorter and we will not cycle as much anymore. Despite that summer didn’t bring us a lot of good weather, we still managed to make some kilometers/miles. But most of those kilometers/miles were ridden during vacations. Continue reading →

A rainy end

We wanted to go back South, to Bergen, along the coast and we hoped the weather would be kind on us since the Norwegian coast is known for its rain. And unfortunately that reputation proved to be true… Continue reading →

More snow and ice

After a day of rest, we continued North on a nice and pretty easy cycle route to Voss. From there, we had to go up again, til about 1000 meters (3000 ft). Continue reading →

Back on the road

Summer has arrived, so time for a vacation! It was quite hard to figure out a destination, there are so many choices. But because we only have 3 weeks, we didn’t want to travel very long/far and we wanted an easy to reach destination. So we decided to go cycling in Norway if the weather would be good. If not, the plan was to take the roadbikes and go to France. Continue reading →

A week Tenerife

Posted on 28 March 2016 by ronnielinda

After having worked for many months, we just wanted a break. Because it’s winter, most people go skiing but we decided we wanted warmth and sunshine. So, we decided to go someplace warm and sunny to finally enjoy those things we miss so much. But we didn’t just want to lay by a pool or on a beach for a week. Of course we also wanted to cycle! And Tenerife (Canary Islands, belonging to Spain) is a very good place for cyling this time of year… On Tenerife, there’s the volcano Teide, the highest mountain of Spain and a real challenge to ride. So, Tenerife it was! Continue reading →
