Back on MTB… too early – Åsa, Sweden
The extremely dry weather is over and rain showers are coming in dramatic shapes. It’s time. It’s some months since the last time on MTB and the elbow feels ok. I get back on the MTB. It feels totally awkward after all the hours on the road bike. But also right Buuuuuuut. It doesn’t fly. […]
MTB ban, Sweden
No mountain biking allowed or even possible… because of travels… It sound ridiculous, but finally all the travelling caught up on me. After a week of carrying suitcases between regional trains, metro and Shinkansen trains in Japan I managed to get a tennis elbow. Mountain biking seems to be one of the things hurting the […]

8 Degrees in Banjoland – Halland, Sweden
It’s 8 degrees and wet. Perfect for road biking…. Maybe not, but it’s amazing how fun it can be if you’re in good company and get to explore some new roads. I pick up Janne in Frillesås and we continue south into what brings back memories from foggy days in Transylvania, Romania. Why stop […]
When the girls are shopping – Åsa, Sweden
What can be better than shopping? Well most things… And in particular biking with the boys a clear day. After a while the older one goes on his own and I continue with Carl around the nature reserve and back home again. Spring is here! Hang on, what happened here?
Winter rides in Åsa, Sweden
The winter was more than great for MTB riding – frozen and fast. Just that I was travelling in other countries most of the time… Anyhow, I did some short rides before the spring came with the usual wet… Some pics:
Bike Lane Paradise – Brisbane, Australia
The plans were great. The weather awful. A bike was arranged for the weekend as well as shuttling at Hidden vale one of the days, but during the week a cyclone dropped all it had over Queensland causing floods and unrideable trails. Still, I got some nice riding. Mostly on the wonderful bike lanes of […]

Amazing trails – Strömstad, Sweden
We are about to close 2017 and luckily not without a get together ride in Strömstad. The Ohlsson brothers are leading the way on absolutely amazing trails just south of Strömstad. It’s the typical trails we grew up with; very technical and constantly up and down. Typically it doesn’t look much but it adds up to […]
