Geocache Description:

[Norsk] Grøsle kleiver blir lett Passo dello Grøsle hvis syklisten som klatrer opp bakken drømmer om Italienske alpene.

[English] Grøsle Kleiver becomes Passo dello Grøsle in the imagination of the cyclist that climp Grøsle and dream of the Italian Alps.

[Norsk] Grimstad har fostret mange store syklister. De største navnene er Dag Otto Lauritzen og Thor Hoshovd. Tilsammen har de 11 Tour d'France etappeseirer. Thor er dessuten verdensmester i landeveisykling i 2010. Hvordan er det da mulig å komme fra lille Grimstad og bli best i verden og få den Grønne trøyen i TdF 2 ganger ? En av årsakene er en tøff liten runde fra Grimstad via Søre Herefoss, Hynnekleiv, Osedalen og tilbake til Grimstad som kalles Bukkene Bruse. Den er ca 89 kilometer lang og har flere store stigninger som t.eks Grøsle kleiver (Passo dello Grøsle), Gauslå, Hinnebu (Alpe d'Hinnebuez). Hvis man sykler motsols så må man opp fra Søre Herefoss (Col d'Herefoss Sud) som er relativt tøff.

[English] Grimstad has raised several talented cyclists. Among the most known names are .... Dag Otto Lauritzen and Thor Hushovd. Together they have 11 individual one stage wins in Tour d'France. Thor won the world road championship in 2010. Dag O2 took a bronze medal in the olympics. So, how it is possible for little Grimstad to raise a world champion and a double green jersey winner i TdF? One of the reasons is the "Bukkene Bruse" trip that starts from Grimstad and goes via Grøsle Kleiver (Passo dello Grøsle), Hynnekleiv, Hinnebu (Alpe d'Hinnebuez), Osedalen and back to Grimstad. If you cycle the other way then you have to challenge the hill after Søre Herefoss (Col d'Herefoss sud)

This photo was taken after Norwegian championship in Grimstad 2013. Thor was no. 1 ..... of course.

This is a air view of passo dello Grøsle. Starting at the lake Syndle and ends after passing the Elk sign at the top.

Imagine mount ruchmore..... Thor and Dag O2 head in the red rock of Grøsle....

This is where you can park the car..... if you don't take the bike...

This is the elk sign at the top. It disappeared several time due to some tourists that like Norwegian Elk signs. So the present one is welded on the pole.
