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, Järvafältet, Stockholm, 17th of April

Mtb ride on Järvafältet with around a dozen other people collected from the Happymtb.org forum.. Wide range of bikes, from cyclo-cross, singlespeed 29'er to hardtails, FS Mtb's and AM bikes.. Trails were varied as well, and it was a lovely warm sunny spring day.. As usual, we finished at Helenes Fik which never dissapoints..

Mtb, Gömmaren, May 30th

Sunny Sunday ride with 8 guys from the Happymtb forum.. We rode for a couple of hours on a trail that circled the lake Gömmaren, where I've never been before.. Not very long in distance but quite energy-zapping with an amazing amount of very large roots, combined with nice rocks and small sections of uphill and downhill..

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, Green & Blue Trail, Hellas, April 18th

Mtb ride in Hellas on the Green and Blue trails, together with 4 other guys from the Happymtb forum.. Nice spring weather on mostly dry rocks and roots, mixed with a couple of properly muddy sections.. Had a few OTB's but no major bruises.. Fairly swift pace with few longer stops except for when Ubu got a puncture and gear wrapped around the wheel at the same time..

Mtb, Hellas, Stockholm, 9th of Jan

A sunny cold winter morning in early January, about -14 C on the thermometer and we had plans for mountainbiking in the forrest areas around Hellas.. Turned out to be a great day with excellent trails with packed snow, not unbearably cold and of course a lunch stop for Gulasch soup.. We took a short section on the "Green" trail, another on the "Yellow" trail, and then a loop on the Sickla side before calling it a day..

Mtb, Hellas-Sörmlandsleden, 20th of Dec

With Christmas just around the corner we headed out into the forrests south of Hellasgården and with the heavy snowfalls the last couple of days progress was slow and mostly by foot.. Great fun though, especially on the downhill sections.. Hoping for lots of fun mtb rides in 2010 as well!

MTB, Järvafältet, 12th of December

A Saturday ride on Järvafältet with about a dozen people from the happymtb.org forum.. Sunny, temperature around zero, partially very muddy, and we visited a couple of really nice trail sections I hadn't seen before.. The biking ended (and started) at the Helénes Cafe at Bögs gård for Gulasch soup and plenty of coffee..

MTB, Haninge-Paradiset, 28th of November

Happymtb-ride with 6 other guys in the Haninge-Paradiset area on Sörmlandsleden stage 5, Sameslingan and perhaps some other trail sections.. Rain fell hard in the morning before we started so roots, rocks and footbridges were quite slippery and the rest of the trails were quite muddy.. Great fun altough I was zapped of energy the last half-hour or so..

Mtb, Järvafältet, Sweden

Saturday ride with about a dozen people from the Happymtb.org forum.. Nice and sunny spring weather, great trails with mixed challenges ranging from roots, rocks and mud to soaked grass and gravel roads.. A pretty perfect day except for a dramatic crash that called for trip with an ambulance for one of the participants, but he'll be ok soon hopefully..
