These trails have been on the bucket list for some time. Not for being awesome MTB trails but for the beautiful landscape and being not too far away from home. Nice weather was forecasted and my oldest wanted to come along 🙂 This is where it’s at: You can order a paper folder with […]

One of Those Days – Hyssnaleden
With three kids and a busy schedule, planning actually doesn’t always create those escapes that you are looking for. Sometimes it’s the lack of planning that creates the special experiences, at least if you have your bucket list ready when time suddenly allows. Too short notice for anyone to join but maybe that’s also part […]
Two Weekends In Isaberg With The Kids
Fall has arrived and weekends are bliss. Especially when you get to ride bike parks with your kids. Arrival before opening hours gives you the opportunity to go though the gear and enjoy the excitement that’s in the air before everyone gets their highs down the trails Into the fog and up above is the […]
Can Every Weekend Be Like This Please?

Björnerödspiggen, Sweden
Oh yes, it’s good being back at Björnerödspiggen. You can find several earlier posts from here but I just had to add another one. Short recap… we’re on the boarder to Norway, on the hiking trail Bohusleden. Views are great all the way from the peak at 222 meters down to sea level at Idefjorden […]
Flottsbro Bike Park, Sweden
This Bike park is in Huddinge, just outside Stockholm, and I guess one of Sweden’s oldest. It’s an old landfill with limited space around the ski slope itself. Given the limited space they have really made a great job shaping several trails. Both machine built ones and more DH/Enduro ones. From their homepage: Youngsters are […]
Spring Adventure
Spring is here with excellent weather for a longer ride together. And in this case, just to be clear… “Longer” is referring to duration rather than distance 🙂 . Ingemar is the notorious guide on these rides and the rest of the crew is myself, Fredrik, Daniel and Kristian It seems exhausting being a faul… […]
The Orbea Occam – My New Tool
Something new was needed. The good old Cube Stereo had served its purpose. My first carbon bike and first 29er too, but after five seasons of hard riding it was time not only for a new bike, but for trying something new in terms of Geometry. Honestly it wasn’t an easy decision, going for the […]
Park life – Vallåsen Bike Park, Sweden
VallĂĄsen 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 […]
Junior goes big wheels: Trek Lush – Åsa, Sweden
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 […]
