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:

Back on MTB – Åsa, Sweden
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 […]
Around the Corner – Kungsbacka, Sweden
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 […]
Castle grounds revisited – Tjolöholm, Sweden
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 […]
Castle grounds – Tjolöholm, Sweden
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 […]
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 […]
Solo to Halmstad, Sweden
Finally! Bike fit – check box. Klas Johansson is not only a mechanic in the dimension Data team. He is also using his long experience from the biking world to do bike fits under the name of probikefit. He has a nice balance of mastering his profession and still make a rookie feel welcome and […]
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?
