Following the Arctic Coastline

June 21, 2024
Repvag to Skaidi Norway
miles today 43.3 
feet climbed today 1,854
miles so far 101.1

We headed out around 10am. The sun was shining and the wind was light at our backs. The temperature was around 50. I even put on sunscreen (spoiler alert... it was not needed).
It was a very beautiful ride... with a few hills.  
As we were riding, we spooked some reindeer. And, of course, they ran onto the road.
We stopped at a rest area which was a natural reindeer pasture. They weren't there when we stopped,  but we saw several today.
The temperature dropped to around 47, so we put on rain coats (wind breakers). 
It started raining a few miles from Olderfjord where we stopped in Olderfjord for lunch. We talked to a cyclist from Sweden.  We saw many cyclists along the road going north (where we came from). 
We got to Skaidi around 430pm. We are staying in this beautiful apartment.  It's only $225 per night, sleeps at least 8, and has a beautiful view. Anybody want to join us?
