Had a great time with a buddy on a NineT. Four days, haven't counted miles yet but probably at least 1500 km. Saw 43,000km at some point, too!

Spectacular photos! The riding looks to be supberb. It's been 30+ years since I was last in Europe...If I ever get to cross the pond again, I'm putting Norway as a top destination.

You're so right, this is for pics of our bikes. Here's one from my phone:

And here it is with my riding buddy looking like he's pointing his camera in the wrong direction (he wasn't - we were completely surrounded by gnarly, twisted peaks) and his NineT:

It was! Big Grin

Next time we'll go up, but since this wasn't planned, we were more than happy to go down this time. This grand vista just suddenly opened up around a bend - and it is MUCH steeper than it looks in the photo. Absolutely majestic. I will return from the other side.

This wasn't the only switchback this weekend either, we navigated dozens and dozens of hairpins. I still don't really know how to do those in a smooth, efficient way, though, so getting to try a hundred of them over four days gave me an opportunity to try out competing techniques (and panicky impulses), and I am better at it now. Is there a tried and tested way to get them right, or do we all sort of just cope? Big Grin
