The first part of the trip runs along easy gravel roads towards Svenkerud. <br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" /><br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" />Follow the bicycle signs over the bridge and on to "Gamleveien" to Nesbyen. Keep going in this direction for about 3 km. Then follow the signs marked "Nesbyen rundt" over Tyribakken bridge. <br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" /><br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" />From Tyribakken bridge the trip goes up towards Garnos. Half way up the hills you can make a right and visit Garnos meteorite crater. <br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" /><br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" />The inclines continue all the way up Garnos and on into Fladalen. From Fladalen the route continues into Ridalen. The scenery in these valleys is almost fairy-tale like, with narrow roads, marshes, small rivers and eventually a fantastic view towards Skarveheimen.<br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" /><br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" />From Ridalen you go downhill towards Gol. The last 8  kilometres run along the railway track in relatively flat terrain.<br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" /><br style="font: normal normal normal 11px/1.5em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: 0.8em;" />The route is long, vith some steep inclines, so it requires some fitness and is not suitable for small children.</span>
