Crossing Gamle Bybro — Begin Again Video Journal No. 13
#beginagain #northcapetocapetown #bikepackingadventure ???? August 14, 2025 — Begin Again, Day 20 This journal entry was filmed as I departed Trondheim, crossing the Gamle Bybro — the Old Town Bridge — a historic structure built in 1681 that connects the city center with Bakklandet across the Nidelva River. From there I rode through the town with my Insta360, capturing the feel of the city one last time before turning south. With Trondheim behind me, I left the coast and began tracing rivers inland, sometimes climbing over mountains to a new watersheds, toward Oslo. I expected the ride to take four days, a new stretch of the journey that would bring me to another set of friends — this time from my postdoc years in Alaska. Departures are always bittersweet, but the bridge was the perfect symbolic crossing: leaving the comfort of reunion, stepping forward into the next unknown. ????
