“We drop and roll down the flowy trails,” Hans says. “The scenery is exquisite, the dirt is smooth, and the A and B lines offer options for every level of rider. Do you want to wall ride the rock face? Sure, go ahead. Do you want to ride along the top and gently roll down? You can do that too, or hit a jump to the side.”
The following day, Glen Jacobs joined Hans and the team and invited them to meet the trail building crew and test the next super trail, which is still under construction: Blueberry Jam. This 16-kilometer trail starts at the resort and ends in the valley below.
There is already a trail network in the region, Hallingdale Rides consisting of 6 bike resorts scattered along a long valley. Nesbyen is one of them, a short drive from Hogevarde, the small town has infrastructure firmly established for bikers, bicycle-friendly breweries, bike shops and rentals, coffee shops, bike wash, shuttles and, of course, plenty of trails.
This center for biking compliments Hogevarde, adding variety and miles more opportunity to shred, and it was a perfect destination to conclude Hans Rey’s Norwegian adventure. Skoll!
