GravelLand Saga Day 14. A New Routine 🚲
Another morning without an alarm. I woke up around 7 AM, took my time packing camp, made breakfast, washed up, and rolled out just after 9. I've realized that this has quietly become my new daily routine.
It almost feels like a regular workday, just on a bicycle.
Wake up.…

Graveland Saga Day 13. Just Ride 🌲
I slept early last night and woke up naturally around 7 AM, feeling completely recharged. After packing up camp, brushing a couple of ticks off the tent, and washing up, I rolled out into another beautiful day.
The first thing I noticed after leaving the shade of yesterday's forest was…

GravelLand Saga Day 12
The ride has settled into a calm rhythm, and so have I.
This third section feels very different from the coast. There may be more asphalt than gravel, but I honestly don't mind anymore. The roads are quiet, traffic is light, and they wind through endless forests and rolling hills.…

GraveLand Saga Day 11
Third section of the journey begins.
After a proper hotel reset yesterday, I woke up to a great breakfast, packed freshly washed gear, and rolled out without rushing. Everything had dried overnight, which already felt like a small victory.
The weather had other plans. All day long I was playing…

GravelLand Saga Day 10
I woke up naturally at 6:30 feeling fully rested. After taking my time with breakfast and packing camp, I rolled out at 8:30 for the final ride toward Helsingborg. 🚵♂️
The weather was exactly what I had hoped for. Dark clouds drifted overhead, the sea was rough and alive, and…

GravelLand Saga Day 9
After a night of heavy rain I woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed. I took my time drying the tent in the morning sun before rolling out around eleven, and for the first time in nine days the wind was finally on my side.
The French bikepacker from yesterday caught up…

GravelLand Saga Day 8
I woke up beside the lake before six but couldn't fall asleep again. Instead, I spent an hour listening to the quiet morning before slowly packing camp and rolling out around nine.
The first 50 km were probably the least exciting of the trip so far. Although the route follows…

GravelLand Saga Day 7
I woke up beside the calm lake in Svartedalens Nature Reserve after nearly ten hours of sleep. The rain had finally stopped, but the morning began with an upset stomach. I made some tea, took Smecta and slowly packed camp, convinced that my water bottles might be causing the problem.…

GravelLand Saga Day 6
I woke up in Hunneberg around 6.30, knowing heavy rain was forecast for the afternoon. The mosquitoes encouraged a quick pack up, and I rolled out early hoping to reach Svartedalens Nature Reserve before the worst of the weather.
Soon after leaving, my stomach started acting up again. I stopped…

GravelLand Saga Day 5
Another great day on the road.
I woke up beside the old Dux anchor, still amazed that yesterday's campsite had become part of the journey already.
The day started with long flat roads, open fields and plenty of sunshine. After yesterday I finally remembered to use enough sunscreen.🥵
A stop…

GravelLand Saga Day 4
Another long day on the road. I woke up feeling fresh even after a midnight stomach adventure.🫠 Smecta did its job and the morning started with another beautiful sunrise.
Today had more asphalt than gravel, but Route 6 kept leading me through quiet countryside where I finally started meeting other…

GravelLand Saga Day 3
A warm sunrise woke me up around 6. I stayed in the tent for a while with the door open, enjoying the quiet morning before slowly packing camp. A cold swim at the lake was the perfect wake up, followed by coffee and a light breakfast in the shade beside…

GravelLand Saga Day 2
Started early knowing storms were coming. Packed camp in 1.5 h and reached ICA just before the rain around 12. Ended up hiding in a small pizzeria for a couple of hours with a great pizza and a cold beer while the storm passed.
The afternoon was a beautiful mix…
