Lofoten to Bodø
We almost managed to break camp before the rain came. Almost, but not quite. Always very demoralising to pack down a wet tent, for some reason. This kind of set the mood the rest of the day. Already five minutes into our ride, it was time to put on the rain gear. One can suffer through it, but it costs a lot of energy to pedal in clammy and non-stretchy rain-pants. In addition, road number 10 through Lofoten is even more busy than the main road between North and south, the E6. Perhaps we’re simply ten years too late for Lofoten…
Regardless of the traffic situation, the views were spoiled but the very low cloud cover. The beaches were beautiful, but of course the mountains were hidden view.
The goal of today was the 18:00 ferry from Moskenes to Bodø. Our pace was slower than usual: some due to overall increase in rolling resistance, some headwind, and then some due to lack of motivation to pedal hard… But at least we managed to get on the ferry! In Bodø waited a warm shower, soft bed and friends.
