The joy of finding new trails. When it comes to riding your local trails some times you just pedal on with out thinking. You know what you get and don't bother to try something new. I recently discovered a sweet little area just a kilometer from my house. The nature preserve of Gammelstadsviken. When i… Continue reading A Wednesday not wasted
Well, not sure what it's called. Gravel or cx or what ever. Eric from Ourorboros gathered a bunch of riders for a evening event on the local trails. Weapon of choice, drop-bar bikes for fast trails and tarmac. It's been a while since i got to take the old Singular Peregrine for a proper spin.… Continue reading Monstercross, gravel bike, cyclocross, whatever – evening
I finally found the time to take the Peregrine for a spin. It´s been ages since i got to ride my favorite route along the shores of the river of Luleå.

The flu i´ve got has now moved on to my kids. The small one has blown out his own body weight in snot. The older one sounds like an old crow. Poor things.
