Mtb, Jämtlandsfjällen, Aug 24th-26th








Drove with two friends, Erik & Tommy, up north for a planned 2-day ride in Jämtlandsfjällen.. After staying at a hostel in Ljungdalen Friday night we kicked off the mtb ride from Kläppen on Saturday morning.. Up above the treeline and onwards to Helags mountain station for a coffee break.. Wonderful, flowy trails to the hut in Mieskentjakke and then mostly hiking over a mountain pass until we reached Sylarnas mountain station for a late lunch.. We continued towards the goal for the day, Storulvåns mountain station, fantastic and fast trails.. Halfway there I crashed hard in a downhill run, got some bruises, hit my head a bit, but most of the force was taken by my right shoulder so the collarbone snapped.. Hiked 8 kilometres to Storulvån mountain station to get some care by an ambulance crew and after staying the night there we got a ride around the mountains back to our car and headed home..

Mtb, Jämtlandsfjällen, 17th of July







Mtb day ride in Jämtlandsfjällen with my brother Jon.. Starting from Storulvån, heading to Sylarna and then via Gåsån back to the starting point.. Route was about 45 kilometres but we added a few more in the end by bad map reading skills.. Still loads of splendid cycling though, with several long flowy sections that made the bumpy uphill struggles worthwhile..

Hiking, Storulvån-Sylarna, July 1st-2nd






A 2 day hike in Jämtlandsfjällen with the lady, from Storulvån to Sylarna and back, some 32 kilometres.. Very warm and sunny, luckily a mild breeze made it bearable.. we camped with nice views of "Templet", "Slottet and "Storsylen" pretty near the mountain station.. Mosquito-season in full force.. Sore feet were cooled in streams a few times..
