Welcome to my blog

Hi, and welcome to my blog.

First a word about myself. I'm a young man from Bergen, Norway, and currently in the process of finishing my bachelor degrees in economics and computer engineering. I'm not very fit, which I've decided to do something about. This blog will (hopefully) help to motivate me.

I've decided to get off the couch and start cycling regularly. My goal is to participate in Birkebeinerrittet and Bergen-Voss next year. Birkebeinerrittet is a 94.6 km mountainbike race on gravel with a good amount of climbs. Bergen-Voss is a 170 km road race with nasty climbs and fast decents. With my current shape I'll be happy to finish these races, but we'll see if my ambitions change later on. If it goes tits-up, atleast you can't blame a man for having tried.

I was diagnosed with diabetes type1 when i was 18, 10 years ago. In effect this put a stop to my conditional training. Mastering the disease has not been a problem for me, but it will be a challenge when i start riding.

I'll use this blog for posting updates as my training progresses, as well as posting a few pictures from a amateur hobby photografer, and casual stuff I find enjoyable. Thanks for reading (and keeping up with my norwenglish).
