D7: Stora Görslöv - Malmö
Haha, seems I’m getting quite good at this socialising thing. Again after a few kilometres I ran into another biker and decided to strike a conversation. 10 day trip, sleeping outside and mostly cooking on a gas stove made me really appreciate how easy my cream-butt camping (as we call…

Also D6: Stora Görslöv
... so I decided I'm really into this biking, and went on a ride just for fun. I’m supposed to go by the coast line, and tomorrow I’ll already have other plans, so checking out the peninsula was best done tonight. I left the bigger bags and headed out right…

D6: Halmstad - Stora Görslöv
Serendipity strikes again
I slept at the most wonderful Airbnb in Halmstad, and woke up refreshed and full of energy. It’s fun when biking is enjoyable! Even found the place for the next night while eating the breakfast that was served (almost) to the room. So this was looking good…

D5: Fjärås - Halmstad
Even though there’s population here everywhere, I’m always struggling to find something suitable at a suitable distance. Now I messed things up replanning the route on account of the recommendations yesterday. Some 70+ added kilometers! Oops, I did it again 😬
The somewhat hefty 180 on the table would’ve been…

D4: Uddevalla - Färjås (I guess still technically Göteborg, but don’t tell the locals I said so)
I noticed my posts have been slightly moody so far. So, I’ll start this one with the negative as well: the wind was worse today, both direction and strength. There. But that’s all I can muster, as today was genuinely a really good day of biking. Could ride in shorts…

D3: Strömstad - Uddevalla
After a slow start yesterday I figured the problem had to be the somewhat poor eating during yesterday. So, I juiced up properly, trying to get a better start, middle and end to this day.
And did it work out? Most certainly not. I mostly felt like I had ingested…

Yesterday was literally high flying, but today never really took off in the first place.
Started by procuring myself a new battery. It came with a complimentary additional light, but it was a bit of a gamble. I used my skills as a sleuth to figure out a potentially suitable…

D1: Oslo - Moss
The good:
* The tubeless setup held during the flight. There was potential for a big mess, and non-inflatable tires, at least with the small pump I’m carrying
* The flight itself went smooth, and the packing held up in general. Might consider doing this again.
* I was probably…

Some days are just pure Goldilocks days when it comes to biking. Today was one. Perfect wind, perfect temperature, perfect nearly everything. Well, except maybe the legs, as I tried going a bit faster but can't say I'm really well recovered, to say the very least. That's usually the case at this stage

You know you’re close to the polar circle when the navigator starts telling you the next turn is in 50km. Last year there was one 100+km next turn, so if latitudes correlate with this, we might still see a 60ish here 🤔
Today I set off with the opposite tactic compared to yesterday. Suuuuper easy in the

This day was one of my really traditional bike travel days. How so? Well, I wanted to arrive early and before sundown, so I started fast. And that only ever ends the same it always does, especially since it’s already d9. I’m mostly running on spare power at this stage.
I started really early, and the

Today was a good day of riding! I pondered over the continuation late into the night; drawing the route again, and looking for places to stay North of Umeå. Finally in the morning I reached my conclusion, and as the map shows, I didn't board the ship. There would've been many a awkward situation in the

The storm passed over night, but the damp clothes remained. Almost all clothes were still wet, includimg ones I hadn’t even used yesterday. The room was small and not too well ventilated.😅 The sun came up, so managed to rectify the situation slightly by spreading all my gear out in the sun. Some traces

Luxury ran out, with a vengeance. The theme of the day was to outrun (-bike) the storm coming in from the South. Again the promise was *Heavy rain* and wimds up to 20ish m/s. So, set out earlier than I had originally planned and tried to keep the pace up. Fortunately, I had butter fingered my food order

If one of my features is being an evening person, another is I worry about things. I can’t understamd how people oversleep flights or busses, as I hardly sleep at all if on a schedule. In fact, can’t remember ever waking up to the alarm as I usually get up before already. By no means did I sleep well
