With the first weekend of good weather, I took to the hills around Oslo on my mountain bike. This time I went with Ingvild, Live, Kaspars, Baiba and Marco. It was nice to have travelling companions for once \ud83d\ude42 We started from Frognersetteren and had an easy trip downhill most of the way. We did have a brief uphill excursion through some seriously rough stuff. I don’t think I’m very good at taking it easy and spent most of my time falling off my bike or attempting, and usually failing, to ride through stupidly deep mud. Lots of fun though and we all made it back in one piece \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Some<\/a>

Some people carried their bikes around the mud. Kaspars found a route which didn’t require going through the mud. I on the other hand am stubborn and decided to go through the mud. Sometimes it worked, some it didn’t \ud83d\ude1b I was a tad muddy by the end of the trip!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/a>

A lake which I don’t know the name of. If you know what this is called, please let me know in the comments \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n
