Being happy to be able to do mountain biking again I figured going by car 110km North on Saturday doesn’t stop me from going 110 km South for a solo ride on Sunday. A (too fast) check on Bikemap.net and Google Earth and I had a downloaded GPX-file making it possible to enjoy Rusenski […]

Back in the game! – Munţii Baiului, Romania
Now take it easy on the football pitch, she said when I paid for the football protection I don’t play football, I responded The broken leg from the freeride skiing the past winter is healing and the doctor has given his go ahead for road biking and I gave the go ahead for gravel […]
From 12 to 20 inch – Åsa, Sweden
Short post on the youngest sons’ progress… Not having a 16″ wheels bike available during the summer kept him going on the old 12″ bike, fine tuning his technique – the skidding became wider and wider on the gravel. We then moved him up to a 20″ wheels bike and now his proudly cruising […]
Fat tires on asphalt – Åsa, Sweden
Back on Swedish soil and I just have to go biking. Old shoes with zip ties but brand new cleats: Road biking recommended by my Doctor, but only fat ties at hand – and that feels goood You can bring a lot of stuff with you and you can have a trailer, but […]
Dealu Mare, Romania
Time to go road biking in Romania. A bit of an extreme sport considering the lack of body armour in combination with poor pavement, a lot of dogs and crazy traffic. I got the car filled up with some carbon fiber and drove to Dealu Mare. 1,5 hour north of Bucharest, or one hour […]
4 km/h – Băneasa, Romania
I can’t bike now so no ride reports, but I can walk on crutches and give you a report on the kids’ biking. After an open fracture while skiing in Bulgaria a couple of weeks ago it’s clear that this season will look different… Once the fact sunk in and the weather is […]
Morning of X-mas eve – Åsa, Sweden
The strong wind from yesterday that offered good surf with the kayak was now gone. The scene was set for some nice biking along the coast. Some pictures. Merry X-mas!
Use what you have! – Praia do Forte, Brazil
At least that’s what I normally do – use what I have, to ride a bike. If you are approximately 1700-1800km North of Rio and there is only a rusty Caloi without suspension… well, then you take it! And here it is… …and with tires in excellent conditions and turned the right way… not […]
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
This is what it is looks like when a lot of people gather in a small area… Touched ground at noon and with the right agenda I managed to be on two wheels already after lunch 🙂 I started right outside the hotel on Copacabana I managed to get hold of a good […]
Now I have done what the doctor told me to!
Well, he told me to do more road biking and then I came across this Carbon frame bike with Ultegra… Not the best looking head-set and top tube but the measures fit me and the price was OK. The whole idea however, feels really scary…
