Cyclecross on a wintery Northern Öland






2 Days ago it was cold and windy, but with crisp and dry gravel roads.. I had plans for some fast hiking-trails but yesterday afternoon the white fluff started falling from the skies, and this morning it was a very different landscape.. Settled with a fairly short, about 30 kilometers, but still rather challenging ride on snowy roads.. Lots of fun! :-)

Cycling, North-Western Öland, 2nd of Jan






First ride of the year, heading south from Byrums raukar on the North-Western side of Öland.. A few degrees below freezing point and a rather chilly north-western wind.. Followed scenic, winding gravel roads to Äleklinta and then turned north at Vannborga.. Back to the car via a pizzeria in Långerum, total distance aprox. 86 kilometres..
