Today I had a work seminar to go to, and inspired by a friend of mine who did the same thing recently I decided to bike up to the hotel (Duck: Voksenåsen, up on Holmenkollåsen, one of the highest hills around Oslo). So instead of my usual 35-40 minute commute along a fairly flat route I swung off after 30 min and headed up, and up, and UP. Feeling fairly fit and pleased with myself, until I noticed time was running out, the road sure got narrow, I wasn't absolutely sure where I was, and where the H*LL did that hotel get to...
I ended up scrambling through the woods, carrying my bike around a fence and finally bursting through the door with five minutes to spare...
The up side? Lots of credit from everybody ;) , taking a shower in the next coffee break, and after having biked hard for almost an hour and half - being able to eat four desserts for lunch without feeling guilty :p
(What still bugs me, though, is that I managed to mess up my bike computer before leaving, so I don't know how many km I can brag about tomorrow...)
