Today I had planned to start my winter ride to the east, avoiding the wind. The plan was to go through the forest and return across open areas with the east wind at my back. When I reached the open area near Hondelage, I had to change my plans, as the snowdrifts made it impossible to ride. So, I headed

Today I rode the same route as Saturday again, and some of the pictures are from both Saturday and Monday. On Saturday, the section near the airfield in the eastern part, with its snowdrifts, was only manageable with a chain on the left side, as the salt had made the snow very slushy and the tires couldn

Unfortunately, I was sidelined again these last few days, just like a month ago, by a cold. So today I did a short ride around Waggum. I wanted to see if it was all safe to ride in all the snow, since most of the Komoot users I follow were out on foot. Today I rode on the well-maintained farm tracks

Today, in the sunny but cold weather, I took a short ride around Waggum. The gravel and paved paths were all clear, except in the shaded areas, where everything was still heavily icy and caution was advised. The trails were in good condition, ice-free, and generally still partially frozen. Unfortunately

I tried out riding in and around Waggum today. Almost everything is rideable, but many sections required full concentration to avoid a fall. In town, many of the side streets had been cleared down to the asphalt, but you often had to cross over the ice. On the bike paths, for example near XXL and Bechtsb

I know it was crazy, but I really wanted to go for a short ride in the powder snow, but unfortunately it was slushy, so I only managed a quick loop around the block. Riding outside the car tracks was easier on the short stretches of road, and the trail was significantly easier, but with that snow depth

I got around to riding a bit late today, but it was the right decision. The trails and paths were all well-trodden, and the rolling resistance was significantly lower, as the bike rolled superbly on some sections, although I was braking more with the rear wheel. Since there was no fresh snow, all the

Today I started my 2026 season, and I would have preferred to start on Saturday and Sunday to make the first tracks in the snow during the snowfall, but unfortunately, those days were already booked. With the sunny weather, I did a short ride around Waggum, similar to the season finale of 2025, because

Today I finished my 2025 season with a short ride around Waggum and enjoyed the clear, unobstructed ride. Unfortunately, I had a brief bout of the cold and yesterday I even managed two saltwater sauna sessions, but today my head was clear again and I could take it easy. The trails were all nicely frozen

Today I went for a short ride around Waggum, carrying heavy tools and doing some trail maintenance. The trails are nice and dry at the moment, and even here they're rideable without mud. At the end of the ride, I stopped by the bakery and bought some rolls.
