A quick, 29k trip in glorious weather. 70% of Oslo's population skis, and they were all out today. Strangely, however, the most pleasant leg of the trip, from Kikut to Sørkedalen (summertime picture of the view down into the Sørkedalen valley), was pretty empty. After some nice, long steep uphill after the Bjørnsjøen lake you get rewarded with one of the longest downhill runs I've experienced. Never out of control steep either--just good and fun.I decided to be a bit lazy and not do a ski version of the Bataan Death March this weekend. I've done one short and pleasant trip and I'll do the same tomorrow. There comes a point when you keep pushing your limits that it ceases to be fun or pleasant. Time to calm down a little.
It should snow tomorrow so I'll have some fresh stuff to work with and a little more peace and solitude too. Should probably get over 60k for the weekend but who's counting.
