Mtb, Järvafältet, Sept 9th

Back on the trails after a 5+ year break! Got a new FS 29'er and fine tuning it during the first proper ride on Järvafältet. Great weather for the year, sunny and warm. First impression of the bike is very positive, first impression of my physical shape not so much, but still a lot of fun.

Cycling, Southern Öland, March 26th

Easter cycling on southern Öland, making a 80 kilometer lap on a sunny but somewhat chilly day.. Starting at Mörbylånga and doing a clock-wise run via the Långe Jan lighthouse at Ottenby.. Nice tail wind last hour certainly helped..

Cyclocross, Järvafältet, Oct 24th

A ride with the cyclocross bike on Järvafältet north of Stockholm.. Dry gravel roads, blue skies and sunshine, red and yellow autumn colors, a very nice day.. Lunch at Helenes Café with the lady afterwards went down a treat..

Road Cycling, Malta & Gozo, April 18th-19th

Rented a road bicycle for the weekend and enjoyed the nice April weather..   If you're thinking about doing some rides on the islands, this might give you a decent view of how it's like..

Cyclocross, Uppsala, 21st of December

Very warm for the season so all snow and ice has melted away.. Between X-mas related social activities, I headed out Saturday morning in Uppsala for a couple of hours of riding.. 4-5 C, with a slow but steady rain.. I first took a loop south-west in the area around Hammarskog and found some nice trails, gravel roads and muddy fields.. Then I headed east and followed Fyrisån north before heading back home again.. Total distance was about 44 kilometres..

Cycling, Utö, Sweden

Half-day ride with GF on the island Utö in the southern Stockholm archipelago.. We headed out with the ferry and then rode southbound on soft and slow gravel roads to a nice rock and sand beach for a coffee break.. Back north to Gruvbryggan for a delicious late lunch at Utö Wärdshus, some sight-seeing at the mines and the windmill with scenic views, and then back to the car at Årsta brygga..

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..

Cycling, Alvaret, Öland, Oct-25th

A half-day road trip around Alvaret at the southern part of Öland.. Started close to Skogsby, headed south to Resmo, then east over Alvaret to Stenåsa where I took a break at the sea.. Continued south past Seby and then headed west over Alvaret again to Möckleby.. Then north back towards Skogsby, with a stop at a café and a hill with a scenic view on the way.. Total distance was 102 kilometres..
