It´s that time of year again. Summer is fading away and autumn colors is coming. September is big mountain month. The last five or six years i´ve been heading up to the mountains of Swedish Lapland with friends for proper all mountain adventures. We usually go to Björkliden, far above the the arctic circle, rent… Continue reading The un-rideable path
I'm not saying raising kids is easy, cos it's not. Living the family life with all the musts and parental responsibilities can be a bit frustrating. I love having kids, watch them grow up and turn in to awesome little persons and I'm so proud of them. But the family life gets to you. It's… Continue reading The gettaway
Spring winter is upon us and conditions have never been better for hitting the frozen Bay of Bothnia. I had the Wednesday off and the forecast said calm weather and clear skies. I usually go alone when i have weekdays off but this week i´ve had my good fat bike friend Kevin from England staying… Continue reading Frozen Sea Ride Report
Winter is having a firm grip on our little arctic town. Loads of snow and handleable temperatures has made the the first weeks of 2018 pretty nice. It's still early in the season but the archipelago is calling and i need to get out there. Both me and Andreas had The Wednesday off and we… Continue reading Isle of Snow

I love the contrasts of beach riding and going far out on frozen water with just months in between. The only time of year that… Continue reading Mind the gap
Since we´re far up in the arctic we might as well go to Norway. I love the Swedish mountains but Norway is something complete different. That might sound strange when we´re so close to each other. But really it´s a huge different, higher peaks, steeper mountains and the fjords.... About one hour drive from Björkliden… Continue reading All Mountain weekend, Reinnesfjellet slick rock, Norway
It is finally autumn and the annual trip up to the mountains is on. Our bike club Luleå Terrängcyklister arrange a trip every year. I missed the event last year so i was pretty stoked to join for the 2017 trip. We go to Björkliden, a ski and hike resort far up north way pass… Continue reading All Mountain weekend, Låktatjåkka Mountain lodge
I get a lot of questions about the geometry on the Roamer so here is the build and numbers. My idea about this frame was to get a bit more fun and aggressive fat bike. It´s basically an all mountain hardtail with 4.6" tires. Ready to fit a 120 mm suspension fork up front… Continue reading Roamer update #5 Build and geometry
