Vallåsen bike park (Link – Swedish only) has been around for a long time but has managed to transform from the old school very technical trails only, to a more modern bike park that also offers machine built trails and rental bikes. It’s a short drive and the boys have been begging for it since […]
So… The rental bike with 26” wheels in Gesunda got the 8-year old going. It became obvious that he needed a bigger bike with full suspension. To cut it short… this is the new family member: Finding a bike for youngsters just short of 140cm is not easy it turned out – if you want […]
It’s 9 years since I was here last time but the weather and feel-good factor seem to be the same :-). This time with the kids and on rental gear for all of us – all Giant: Trance Jr, Reign SX2 and the Glory 2 for me. Such a great feeling riding with the backdrop […]
Bohusleden is not only the hiking trail running through the landscape of Bohuslän, but the solid foundation of my mountain biking back in the late 80-ies. This time I meet up with Micke at his place and his wife drives us and the bikes to the beginning of Tolvmansstegen. As we are about to park […]
Maybe not the warmest days, but perfect weather for biking with the boys. One day is dedicated to the forest trails and one for the coastal ones. They are both struggling with too small wheels – Carl is on 24″ and Erik 26″ – gotta change that… One week later:
Spring is in the air! The strong wind doesn’t matter too much as it’s time to try if the elbow holds up for some mountain biking. We warm up with some gravel roads before climbing up to the wind mills. One blade is 54 meters long, but it’s hard to understand from a distance, or […]
Another around-the-corner-discovery… I figured I bring the bike to Kungsbacka while the kids play tennis. Such a great idea while still in total denial mode of the increasing pain in the elbow after hitting all those stairs at Tjolöholm. I cross Varlaskogen going to the BMX track. No competitions today… I get it all to […]
It didn’t take us long to be back – not even a week. This time we doubled the crew as Mikael and Kristian joined too. Kristian gets some extra air into the shock and we get going Well… more of us need to pump more air into the shock… Happy riders today Mikael has been […]
Tjolöholm castle – or rather country house – is only a short car ride away but forgotten. Until now… Early morning, but with a star breakfast 🙂 Bikes on the car and we get there early; myself and Janne There are plenty of trails to explore and we use the early morning to discover the areas […]
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. […]
