The road to Hell





Forget good intentions...this road was paved with
snow.!
I have made some intelligent decisions in my life but cycling north in Norway in April isn't one of them!
It has been bitterly cold and I have rarely felt my extremities...I have tried every possible way to try and keep my hands warm and for the past week haven't felt my toes except for a few hours in the sleeping bag.
On the up-side...my tent went through its first snow storm and performed admirably. Once the snow piled up around the base and sealed it...it was snug and moderately warm. Not bad for a 3-season tent!
It is strange though...I haven't seen any other cycle tourers on the road. Perhaps there is a reason for this!
