Mountainbiking, Fornstigen, Lovön, Sweden

Drove to Drottningholm where I parked the car to try out Fornstigen on Lovön for the first time, a 18 kilometres long trail that passes cultural and historical sites along the way.. Turned out to be one of the best I've ridden on mountainbike.. Most of the way you get a really nice flow in the riding that suits well for a singlespeed.. Some sections are on gravel roads which is nice to catch your breath.. A great Sunday morning that was finished off with coffee and hotdog..

Kayaking, Lake Mälaren, Sweden

A 5 hour kayaking trip on Lake Mälaren on a nice autumn day.. Pretty windy but aviodable by staying on the leeward side of the islands.. Went from my regular starting point on Kärsön north up along the east side of Lovön, and then turned back south past Drottningholm.. Saw plenty of swan-families.. As usual, when kayaking in Mälaren, I had to take care in channels and sounds as plenty of motor boats are speeding in a rather reckless way..

Mountainbiking, Sörmlandsleden 1-2, Sweden

4-5 Hours on Sörmlandsleden's first and second section together with my GF.. We started in Hammarbyhöjden, entered Sörmlandsleden at Björkhagen and followed it down to Alby Friluftsgård where we turned back and followed the same route home.. A few stops along the way including lunch next to a meadow watching horses graze.. Nice early autumn weather with sun and blue skies, but fairly cool temperature that was very comfortable for biking.. These trails are varied and fairly hilly at a few places but not too technical, suited quite well for a beginner and a slightly handicapped rider..
