7 percent

Not my favorite road sign in the world. This was a short bit. I did one today that was six at least fue miles long.

As in climbs at a 7 percent gradient. My guide book calls them “mountain gradients.” I realized from my Strava app that I had even done a 10 percent. I just know they’re hard and I’ve done several of these climbs in the last couple of days. My legs are tired.

Big climbs bring nice views though.

My stuff is on it’s last leg as well. I knew I would need some duct tape at some point before the journey was over. I usually bring some, but I didn’t this time. Then a strap on my back bag broke. It’s nice to know Norway knows about duct tape.

Duct tape to the rescue. Hang in there. We only have a few more days.

70 miles down today. Around 120 to go to get to Bergen.
