Local races is always fun, especially when It`s in my hometown Sandnes. Since spring time it seems like everybody here have been talking and training for Nordsjørittet. This is the second biggest moutain bike race in Norway with a record of 7500 riders this year. The race starts in Egersund and finish in Sandnes with a total distance of 91km, the course is made for everybody mostly on gravel and asphaltt roads along the beautiful coast.

Again this year my race schedule aloud me to take part of this beautiful race, but last saturday I was not at the start with the women elite field like the other years. This year I was riding together with a local company called Sterling and as a ”fishlover” It could`t be a better company for me to ride together with.

With a group of 100 employers at Sterling I was the motivation for the 91km from Egersund to Sandnes followed with a beautiful fish dinner in the evening.

All in all this was a very exiting day for me! I was able to see the race from a diffrent view and just watching all the people riding the race gave me so much inpiration. People in all ages and shapes with one goal: to finish the race as fast as possible!!

So to everybody that finished the race and to all my new friends in Sterling, you have all my respect and you should be proud of yourself☺

All the best!
