MTB, Barcelona, Aug 1st

A few hours of casual mountain biking on the gravel roads on the hills above Barcelona. Myself, Xavi and Beverly enjoyed the great views, but it got very hot and humid as the day progressed.

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala, May 1st

The traditional May 1st ride in Lunsen, Uppsala with about 17 other mtb riders from the Happymtb.org forum.. Starting at Flottsund, lunch break with hot dogs at Torpet, continuing on the Southern Trail before heading back to the parking lot.. A few of us ended the day with a couple of laps on the BMX track in Gottsunda..

Mountainbiking, Sörmlandsleden 4-3, Sweden

A fairly short ride with GF on Sörmlandsleden, section 4 and about half of section 3 and then back again.. Mostly to try out the new mountainbike before longer and faster rides.. It works fine, just need some tuning of the fork.. This section is fast and easy, and part of it goes through a community, other parts next to highways, so not very scenic.. Back at the car after about 2.15 hours, including a lunch break at a gas station..

Mountainbiking, Sörmlandsleden 1-2, Sweden

An afternoon ride on Sörmlandsleden 1-2.. A few degrees above 0 and the trail was wet and muddy after a couple of days of rain and snow.. With a few bruises and a slight cold, I took it slow and easy.. Stopped on the way back and cooked a late lunch and coffee.. On the last way back it was pretty dark so I tried the new set of lights, that worked ok-ish.. Pretty fun to be out in these conditions, but cold feet in the end and the bike looking like a gritty mess afterwards is the downside..

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..

Mountainbiking, Hellas-Sörmlandsleden, Sweden

Went out on my Kona singlespeed for a couple of hours in the area close to where I live.. Tried a couple of trails on "Sicklaskiftet", some others in the area close to Hellasgården and then finished on Sörmlandsleden section 1.. I still have to get off when it is steep uphill and on the more technical sections, lacking strength in my left leg and being wary of having a fall.. But it's getting better for each ride, hope to be in pretty decent form within a month or so..

Mountainbiking, Malta

Some mountainbiking during the weekend 28th-29th of April on various places on the island.. We passed places such as Ghallis Rocks, Qrejten Point, Marfa Ridge, Popeye Village to Ras il Wahx, and Qlejgha Valley with the Chadwick Lakes.. The latter are actually not much more than dried-up small water-dams, but anyways.. Perfect weather, partially cloudy, around 20-22 C and a nice breeze..

Mountainbiking, Karson, April 2006

Spring session in the forrests on Karson. Nice weather in pre-bug season.. Still with winter tyres on but fun regardless..

Mtb round Kungsholmen, Mar-2006, Sweden

In Mid-March after a long and cold winter, I headed out on the lake ice and bike around most of Kungsholmen in Stockholm. Had to leave the ice a few times for short sections on land but it was still a pretty cool day..
