Inbjudan Viking Tour 2006

Här kommer en trevlig inbjudan till ett lopp i Norge. Vackra bilder fick vi också. Här kan vi bevisa att det går att klättra med liggcyklar. Arrangörerna har till och med gjort en speciell HPV-klass. Fler fina bilder på länken längst ned.

Dear cycling friends!

One of the worlds most beautiful cycling races was arranged for the first time through the fjordland of western Norway this summer.
Non-timed thrill or racing for grim death: Participants speak of the ride of their lifes.

Only sections of each stage are being timed and a number of enthusiasts riding all the way in non-timed classes.
This creates a great athmospere that can only be improved by having even more nationalities with us.
