at Storslett
Well I've made it a couple more days of cycling, I'm about 190km out of Alta now by road but a lot less in real distance.
I had a couple of good days of riding with some nice tailwind and plenty of sun.
Today I had a big climb of 400m (it was big to me) it was completely snowy at the top and really cold but so far the best one to come down the other side of.
After that I was on my way to a town near the ferry I have to catch tomorrow to get to Tromsø. I got to Storslett and carried on only to find the road Google thought I could take was a tunnel closed to cyclists. So I started another hill, 230m this time, right as I got to the top I noticed some snow on the road, I could go round it but hoped there wasn't more. As I got over the top I looked down and saw a road completely covered. Now way through.
So now here I am again in Storslett hoping a bus will let me on with my bike so I can get through to the ferry. I might even be a bit lazy and get the bus straight to Tromsø as it doesn't cut out too much cycling. For now I'm just camped near a road eager to get the bus to carry on in the morning!
