Birthday Ride

Sat, Jun 22, 2024
Skaidi to Alta, Norway
miles today 54.8
miles so far 155.9
feet climbed today 2,690.0
feet climbed total 7,693.0
Today is my kids' birthday! They were born two years apart. Now they live miles apart! Ryan is in Missouri and Roni is in Florida.  So, happy birthday to you two... love you both to Norway and back! 

We left today around 830am. It was around 45 degrees but no rain on the forecast. For most of the day, we followed a large river where people like to fish.  It made for some beautiful views.  
There were also a lot of hills.
And a few big downhills! 
We got to the hotel around 430pm. We showered, then went to a yummy pizza place. Then,  we started to package up our bike bags onto boxes to shop them. The cost in the boxes we had would have been around $380 so we spent 3 hours measuring and rebuilding the boxes to get them down to around $130. We'll finish the process in the morning when the hotel manager can help us with printing labels or giving us an alternative way of shipping. 

We went outside at 1015pm to see the sun. The sun was low to the horizon but as bright as mid day!
