Brekkestø is a small village on the southern coast of Norway, in the region known as Sørlandet. It is a part of the municipality of Lillesand, which is in the county of Aust-Agder.
The village is actually located on several rocky islands, and many of the homes built around its compact harbour are white wooden cottages with red tiled roofs, typical of the area.
Brekkestø has a reputation for being both rustic yet exclusive, and as such, it is a popular destination for summer vacationing. Brekkestø is often cited as an “idyllic pearl” of Southern Norway
Enjoy these few pics taken just outside our summer house.

Some more pics....
Finally the summer revealed it-selves with the best weather so far, so I jumped on the bike hitting for the same route as I did the day before yesterday. Managed to take a few better shots this time. Avg speed: 16.5mp/h, distance: just below 37 miles.
Sunday Ride on my CX
In what must be a typical MTB terrain
This one here doesn't look very steep, but believe me. It is. One of the few walking parts of the trip. It might be ridable with some lighter gearing than 38/28 and some sticky low inflated 2,3" tires.
Going into the Norwegian woods.....
Nice scenery :-)
SS/Fixie - The Wheels
Well OK. I already had some wheels done, and this bike should of course be fully campy track equipped as they all used to be back in the days. Anyways. In the mean time. Waiting for someone to throw me some campy goodies but still wanting some nice quality, here's what the wheels gonna be like. Shimano 7600 track hubs and NISI Sprint rims. As you can see, the rims are actually factory drilled to shave some weight. Nice! :-) I haven't decided on the spokes yet, but I'll probably end up using 2-1.5-2 and alu nipples. I might go for a slightly thicker spoke rear.
