Looking for Riders to Fat Bike With

Hello,
I am new to the Oslo area. I just got my new fat bike and would like to meet up with folks to show me the winter tracks. I assume that with all the skiers there must be some areas and times when fat bikes are not allowed. I would like to do some night rides on the weekdays after work or any time during the weekends. I am an avid cyclist so i am open to both long/short hard or easy tracks. As long as i get out to spin the pedals and put some miles in.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

You can always ask for a membership of the facebook group Fatbike Norge.

They are active and arrange group rides frequently.

edit: And welcome to Oslo, and the forum.

Fortunately there are no fatbike bans, but you are not allowed to be an asshole. In other terms: ride with caution by yielding to skiers, passing at low speed, keep out of the ski track when riding prepared trails and be a nice guy.

If you are around the alpine ski centers like Grefsenkollen and Tryvann, I think there is a ban on bikes, allthough it is not communicated.

The best riding is anyway done on singletrack where hikers are frequent.

OK thanks for the tips! I assume the single track is the blue trails? I will probably make it out for some night riding this Friday or weekend if i get over my cold and if any one is interested .
Takk!

Howdy and welcome to Oslo!

Yep, the blue trails are singletrack.
I'm struggling with a cold myself (The vast majority of skiers and snow hikers dig fatbikes, so they make us stop for questions, pics, etc. Sweat from riding and cold from such stops is a bad combination healthwise).
We'll probably get a small group ride going closer to the weekend. My guess is Vettakollen (singletrack).
Where do you live?

Ha! cool, i am getting over a cold too. I live in the Bislett area by the stadium. Sounds good, if I'm not at work i am always interested in meeting up with others for a spin in the woods. just message me here or email me at romoni63@gmail.com.

Alrighty.
Bislett to Sognsvann (where these rides typically start) is a nice warm up spin. Will drop you a PM or email when we have something planned. I guess Friday evening would be a good time, provided I've got the cold outta the system.

sounds good \m/
