Kayaking, Byrum, Öland

Drove to Byrum's raukar on the north-western side of Öland to paddle for a few hours.. First headed south in head winds that made for slow and bouncy progress.. At the turning point there were nice and fairly big surf waves in which I played around for a bit before turning back north again, pushed forward in a brisk pace with tail winds..

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..

Cycling, Byxelkrok-Byrum, Öland

Started from Byxelkrok at around 08.30 and headed south along the western coast, first on asphalt roads, then on gravel and later on sandy but untechnical hiking trails.. I had planned to go much further south, but at Byrum I discovered that my rear wheel had become seriously askew so I limped back the fastest route and the distance covered was only 36km..
