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 […]
Sometimes the stars just line up, don’t they? The guys are available, the weather is great and you’re on a high for two days! Meeting up at a trailhead in Delsjön, Göteborg We’ve got a fantastic friend and the best possible guide to Desjön you can get helping us out to find our way in […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
