Northern Exposure itely and I am g , how stupid , why he road that I set out ching but this is not se , I want the road to r cars or something , is starting to twist and ing river to my right . waters chase my builds the swooping to ride , I feel as though robably wasn ’ t there

in carriageway rthern capital city of st city . Trondheim lav died here and it the southern shores r that is
Trondheimfjord .
I slept quite well but woke shivering in the early hours , still half asleep I just put my fleece on snuggled down and finally woke at around 8am . I had quite a surprise to find that my bike was completely covered in thick ice , I guess that the sunny days that I have experienced so far on my trip are a double edged sword , with clear nights the temperature plummets once the sun goes down and I won ’ t be having an early start today .
I packed up as the sun rises once more above the surrounding mountains . Setting off today I am immediately aware of the icy conditions as the road is mainly in shadow a few twitches from the back wheel remind me of the perils of a hasty ride , also for the first time I have all of my layers on today and the heated grips are at full . I have my Buff over my face
