Biking and Climbing Up North
As per previously mentioned, went and biked down a ski slope as promised. Pictures are up and can be viewed here. Gallery
Before going up the slope, we did have to be adequately prepared
But after that, we thought, what more can we do that fits in with the weekend? Well, we decided to try our hand at climbing (Tone and myself that is). We enjoyed it so much, that we’ve taken the plunge, gotten some equipment, and got some lessons from some experts (Tone’s sister), and now we practicising our climbing skills 2-3 times a week!

yup, we had the back protectors as well. We did this about 4 weeks ago, early august, but I only put it on the blog today. Even with all the contraptions and stuff, it still is one scary ride. The other guy, Nils, now he’s an all out crazy dude, who has some serious bike control, and he was flying everywhere. He basically wore out a set of disc brakes!
The climbing was really fun. That was the first time I had ever done it, and it got me more or less hooked. I’m practicising on an wall now that has hand holds and stuff.
Waiting for the handball tournament pics in eager anticipation.
btw : i know you’re into the wiki stuff, but swing by the forum to the sports club. Need to start talking footy again (I got c-league tickets to see Real Madrid play here in Trondheim)
