STYRKEPRØVEN THE TRACK IMPORTANT: ROAD CONDITIONS NORTH OF STØREN: With new tarmac from June 11th, the road is now in perfect condition. ALONG TOTENVIKA: Styrkeprøven has a particular service focus on this stretch, because of the challenging road conditions during the last two years. Some repairs have been made, and a long gravel stretch has been replaced with new tarmac. Hovewer, there is still some work remaining, and there will be short stretches with tarmac also this year. We ask you to be careful when riding through this area of roadworks. JESSHEIM & SKEDSMOKORSET: Through Jessheim, some roads are regulated with one way traffic. This should not cause any trouble, as we are riding with the direction of traffic.the tarmac is a bit rough here, with longitudinal curbs the riders should be aware of. 9
IMPORTANT: ROUTE CHANGE AT SKEDSMOKORSET The road from Jessheim to Kløfta and Frogner is laid with new tarmac, and the conditions are good. Between Skedsmokorset and Hvam, the route is changed from Skedsmokorset via RV 120 to Kjeller, and then back to Hvam/Olavsgård. When approaching Kjeller, be aware of a steep downhill ending in two roundabaouts. The rest of the road towards Oslo is in relatively good conditions. Østre Aker vei, from the town limit to the tunnel at Økern, will be divided using traffic cones. Here, the riders should only use the left lane! Riders using the right lane will risk being disqualified. 10
