Trail etiquette
Having great trails to ride on is not a right, but a privilege. The Norwegian Mountain Biking Association (NOTS) urges everyone to be considerate on the trail. Here are the most important guidelines:
1. Be considerate and give way to pedestrians.
2. Limit your speed, don’t be a danger or nuisance to others.
3. Don’t blaze new trails.
4. Don’t ride on vulnerable trails right after a heavy rainfall.
5. Don’t make the trail wider.
6. Carry your bike through marshland to prevent deep ruts.
7. Don’t lock your rear wheel when riding down steep hills.
8. The cyclist riding uphill has right of way.
It's a hot, sunny day and the trails are bone-dry. Standing outside the Radisson Blu Hotel, cycling guide Robin von Braun is ready to ride. He is heading off to meet two keen mountain bikers who have booked a two-hour tour with Trysilguidene. Steve Glazebrook and Johan Persson are looking forward to covering new ground today.
“Trysil is full of excellent trails, but it can be hard to know where they are if you aren't local,” Johan Persson says. “Trysilguidene know the local terrain inside and out, including all the hidden gems. They also know where the conditions are best on the day of your booking.”
After a chat with Steven and Johan, Robin knows which level they’re at and has an idea of what kind of biking experience they are looking for today. Based on this information, he suggest cycling east on a route that will take them across the Trysilelva river and through the centre of Trysil. From there, they will be heading uphill.
“We are going to ride up Bergvegen towards Ås and go around Bjønnåsen, where there’s a great descent with lots of flow that will suit these guys really well. We can choose to go down along Ljørdalsvegen or Gravavegen. Today, I think Ljørdalsvegen is our best choice. It's quite technical, which will be a good challenge for them,” says Robin.
Steve and Johan have quite a lot of previous cycling experience. But they are open to suggestions, tips and tricks from their guide – the more they learn, the more fun they will have. Every once in a while they stop, get off their bikes and discuss the terrain.
“We are happy to help our guests develop their technique,” says Robin. “Even small adjustments can make a big difference. And it’s really useful to stop and assess the terrain, like we are doing today, and go through how to do the perfect jump.”
Back at the hotel, Robin recaps the trip. The guys are happy, but they are far from finished for today. As soon as Robin has pointed out a few more trails on the map, they climb back on their bikes and wave goodbye as they head off on a new MTB adventure.
The trail from Bjønnåsen and down Sponbergvegen (number 96) to Skumlesvingen (number 84) truly has a bit of everything. It starts off easy and allows you to work up a lot of flow and speed, and is very technical at the end. It's pretty steep in places and you pass large boulders and roots along the way.
