you riding rider, you
This is a pleonasm, like the phrase "seeing with your eyes". It probably reflects you having earlier said something as a pleonasm, and the writer of the letter wants to tease you about that. Maybe. Actually, there is a typo in the Norw. text: "ridene" should be "ridende" Please try to avoid these typos, as translating can be difficult enough without hving to guess the words... :-)

Comment: "Evidently you figured out the translation even though there was a misspelling in the text from which it came...all the more impressive and very helpful. Your explanation is also very helpful to me - and I thank you very much. Donna"
