Kayaking, Northern Öland, May 22nd-23rd

Two more half-day paddles on May 22nd and 23rd.. First one from Byxelkrok south to Byrums Raukar on the north-western side of Öland, second session on the north-eastern side of Öland from Böda hamn first south for a bit and then northbound up to the white sandy beaches..

Kayaking, Northern Öland, Sweden

Half-day paddle on Northern Öland in a Feathercraft Big Kahuna borrowed from Avanza Kayak in Älvsjö for a possible purchase.. A light and nimble little kayak of a much higher quality than other foldables I've paddled previously.. Sunny but not hot pre-summer day with a breeze that picked up gradually and gave some moderate waves..

Kayaking, Northern Archipelago, Sweden

Weekend paddle from Fejan in a north-eastern loop with two twin-seaters.. Sunny but fairly chilly.. Mellow pace between the rocky islands with plenty of time for eating and siestas.. Tent camp on high grounds with great views.. Didn't spot any seals but plenty of ferries..

Kayaking, Mälaren, Sweden, May 3rd

With a delayed delivery of a new folding kayak and an urge to get back on the water, I headed to Pampas with Carin for a couple of hours of city-side paddling on lake Mälaren in a twin seater.. Tried my Greenland style paddle for the first time and it was nice altough the wide hull of this kayak got a bit in the way..

BMX, Gottsunda, Uppsala

Old guy on big mountainbike on bmx track south of Uppsala.. More physically challenging than I had expected and in the beginning it felt like I was about to nose-dive after each jump, but I found the balance pretty quickly and it was loads of fun.. Not a single crash and the bike coped well so next time I'll push harder..

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala

Joined a May first-ride in Uppsala with about 27 other cyclists from the Happymtb.org forum.. Sunny and warm pre-summer day with perfect conditions on mostly dry trails.. BBQ-stop at Torpet, and a laid-back finish along lake Mälaren.. Both myself and the bike made it through without any damages, unlike the last Lunsen-ride a few weeks back.. Mtb as good as it gets!
