good morning i forgot what day is today i'm 100 kilometers for Nordkapp
but i don't think i will be able to get there today
the wind is too strong it was raining when i left
but now it stopped and i think the wind will quickly dry everything it will quickly dry the road
as well and a few things that got wet here are already dry so when i left this morning it
was 110 or 114 kilometers from Nordkapp and i just don't think it's sensible to go there today
the wind up there can be very very strong i don't know exactly how the center there
if there is a place where i can pitch my tent anyway road to Nordkapp
if i can get to the fucking tunnel
come on
this tunnel is a six kilometres 800 meter and something
it's going to be long as fuck
i don't know maybe a ride on this thing
maybe not fuck it
i heard some stories of people getting claustrophobic in the tunnel it's very long
it's about two kilometers downhill and then it's all uphill
i'm on the uphill part
so basically here we are under the sea we are under the ocean
so instead of building a long bridge they dig the tunnel
imagine if something fell and this gets flooded with ocean water that'd be a nice way to go epic
all right let's go let's go
six kilometers done one to go this must be the longest climb i did
in a long while
it's basically almost five kilometers of climb
and it's steady steady not steep but
maybe like six percent seven percent
out of the tunnel finally it's long but the thing is that is
mostly uphill because you go down a lot the first two kilometers and then it's all uphill
i was getting exhausted and i was a bit sweaty too so we never got too cold now
i'm outside of Honningsvåg 30 kilometers from Nordkapp i was cycling by and i saw this garage belongs to
this unit and i asked the next door neighbour if i could camp here but they are offices
and there was no way to get permission and i camped anyway it's quite clean it will be
it's pretty sheltered from the wind
and it will be shelter from the rain as well if it if it's gonna rain so i put the tent down
and i will cook some pasta for dinner and then i will just sleep
and tomorrow morning Nordkapp
good morning it's friday 24th and today i'll be in Nordkapp
it's not raining it's windy it's been windy all night basically and
yeah now the trauma is to get out of my quilt my sleeping bag five minutes and then i'll
be out i'll pack as quick as possible get the rest back as quick as possible
this is the view in the morning of my campsite my trusted hubba hubba i almost packed everything
the tent is now empty i'm gonna break down the camp
take the little trash with me and hit the petrol station at the back there
now we go to the petrol station as i said because it's warm it's nice i need the bathroom and
i can have some food there while i'm very warm and one thought i had last night is with all the EV
vehicles what's gonna happen to the to the gas stations
road to Nordkapp the last 31 kilometers
Nordkapp straight ahead straight ahead let's get there
hopefully no rain so i have two hills i have 750 meters of climbing elevation gain
yeah two hills
okay boys and girls
this is
the first climb
first time of the day
i'm warming up
it's windy. headwind
nordkapp 25 kilometers
let's see the view from here
some wind gusts almost pushed me down this ridge
this fucking wind man
okay it's stopped
ah come on
and now i'm sheltered by these rocks
when you have a side wind it's crazy
i cannot cycle in this wind it's too dangerous
these 200 metres
then i should be able to cycle again
once i get to the to the guardrail there
I can cycle and then this hairpin is helping putting me again in headwind
here it's much better i'm sheltered from the wind
by this ridge
so we are on a highland for a while till there probably and then
we should drop back down
to the sea level and then another climb 21 kilometres to go
i think now i have a tailwind
even this one i'll have to walk my bike
i made it on top you hear my voice a bit strange because i had to put some tissues in my nose
let's go down
12 kilometers to go
i wish i was there now because
it looks like it's sunny i think
it's a rarity
i heard someone say that Nordkapp is clear
the sky is clear 10 days a year
don't remember exactly but i think
now the road goes down to the sea level
and then there is another hill of a few kilometres
the road seems going up there
i don't know
it's a long way up
we're getting there nine kilometers to go
10 kilometers to go
to be another
one kilometer to arrive to that ridge and then we see
about six kilometers six seven kilometers from Nordkapp
let's see how fast we can go 45 46 let's try to get 50.
i got 49.4 fuck it
didn't get to 50
