Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala, Nov 6th



A couple of hours of mtb in Lunsen, Uppsala, together with 7 other guys from the Happymtb forum.. Still quite warm for the season, but with plenty of mud holes, and very slippery rocks and footbridges..

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala, 1st of May







The traditional May 1st ride in Lunsen, Uppsala, with close to 20 people from the Happymtb.org forum.. As usual, splendid weather, superb trail selection, chilled lunch break with BBQ at Torpet and nice people sharing the same passion for mtb.. After-bike pizza to recoup energy was great too..

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala, 10th of April







First "spring ride" in Lunsen with most of the snow gone, and also first proper trial run on my new mtb.. Went from Plantskolan towards Torpet, took a break, and then tried the winter/ski trail back, which turned out to be rather unsuitable for mtb, but after navigating over the wetlands to Upplandsleden, riding was excellent again all the way towards Flottsbro before I was done for the day..

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..

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!

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala







Happyride in the Lunsen forrest area south of Uppsala, together with about 17 other mtb-cyclists.. First real spring ride with sun and blue skies, mostly dry trails but also muddy patches and some very icy bits, often covered with water on top = extremely slippery.. We started at "Plantskolan" and took a northern loop and arrived some hour later at Torpet for a long break.. After that we took another loop on the south side of Lunsen and then headed back towards the starting point.. I had a couple of proper crashes and some mechanical failures but still a superb day..

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala





Half-day ride in Lunsen, Uppsala, with 4 people from the Happymtb.org forum.. Warm and sunny, maybe up towards 25 C the last hours.. This forrest area is amazing for cross-country mountainbiking, must be the best or one of the best in Sweden, at least if you appriciate fairly technical trails rather than fast ones..
