It was clear case of multiple blessings in disguise, that the puncture happened after I very much enjoyed a short hike on Storøya, was then allowed to fix it at the historical trading place called Kalle i Lofoten and finally catching the bus JIT, with a 400m sprint, stopping along the E10 after the damned tyre got flat again.

There is some more dry weather forecasted for this week with sunny spells at actually max 9° angle above the horizon. We are now “loosing” approximately one hour daylight per week until the polar night will kick in.

The bike is cleaned and fixed with new tyre and tube, ready to go. The S-Works Tracer is an incredible tyre but only lasts about 2500km, admitting some abuse here an there on the gravelled stretches taken.

Fantastic ride with an unexpected return.

Fair winds…
