      Rauland to Fredrikstad

      July 9, 2022 in Norway ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      A quick dash today just 270km (170miles) to Fredrikstad to stay with Merete and her family. We’re there now and I need to write this diary now before I get too drunk. It’s lovely here, they have fed us a BBQ and now we’re relaxing inside with beer, wine and crisps. When we stopped at Drammen, I bought some new boots which was fantastic! They were just £200 rather than £270. We didn’t do a lot of beautiful roads mainly motorways but it was good to warm up and we had our first ice cream! We’ll dash down through Sweden tomorrow and start heading south.

      HIGHLIGHTS - New boot day and meeting the lovely people at Monsterbike in Dremen
      LOW POINTS - knowing that we’re on the way out of Norway
      ROADS - E134

      Rest Day: Fredrikstad

      July 10, 2022 in Norway ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      What a fantastic day!!?? I think we must have ridden 400km or 250miles around the local area and up to Lillestrom but we are staying with Marete and her family again so it was for fun as a ride out with them.

      Merete is a complete badass and after only one year of riding has a new Ducati 950 Supersport. She got into riding because her son, Storm, wanted to learn and she thought she would too. She’s a very good rider for someone who hasn’t been riding for so long. Her son, however, is in another league and should definitely do more track riding. He is one of the fastest riders I have ever followed, which is crazy considering he is just 17 and still has to wear a learner vest when he’s riding his bigger 600cc Yamaha. He also needs a responsible adult with over 5years on their license to ride behind him (if you can keep up). This was down to me for part of the day! If he got caught speeding, then I would get the ticket. I learnt this just before he wheelied out of the petrol station 😅🫣 following him was quite a lesson and a lot of fun! Later Marete then let me ride her new Ducati with only 4,500 miles on it 😍🤩 amazing but not my cup of tea.

      We have just finished the day with a BBQ and some wine before bed. I’m exhausted and very happy!!

      HIGHLIGHT - too many to mention, the whole day was brilliant
      LOW POINT - nothing
      ROADS - 114(!), 115, 120, 22, 21, 124
