Ice ice baby
Since temperature has dropped to comfy -16°c(?) I took a little spin up river today. A damp warm beginning of winter. Followed by a few super cold weeks and no snow dumping has made the ice perfect for riding. You can literally ride any where you like. Go in one direction and just, hey! I… Continue reading Ice ice baby
Stay frosty
The plan for the weekend was to take a longer ride to one of the islands in the archipelago. Jopik Gården at Hindersön got a great café with awesome waffles. But mother nature had other plans for us. Temperature dropped to around -30°C today and going out on a 40 km ride on the ice… Continue reading Stay frosty

Todays micro adventure was an short morning ride with the fat bike around the ice road. Luleå is a town… Continue reading Small adventures also count
Snow beer bikes
Thursdays usually is my skate park night. But today winter came. So i took the Muk' on a ride around town. And now i'm sitting at the local pub having a brew to celebrate winter and winter rides to come. And now Lars dropped in... Cheers! May the snow be with you.

It´s one of the resorts in Sweden that opens first in the season. Lots of alpine teams have their pre-season camps here before the world cup begins. I got… Continue reading Fat biking + skiing = win/win

When it goes cold again the whole world is covered in ice... This has been going on for weeks now and… Continue reading A little bit like Hoth

Icebreakers waking up
Winter sure is coming and the temperature i dropping way below zero. But still no snow! Normally i don't mind if the fluffy white stuff waits a few extra weeks. But this year i just can't wait to try the fat bike at packed snowmobile trails. Still, we just got a few centimeters. I took… Continue reading Icebreakers waking up

Last night was the coldest so far this autumn and during the night a thin ice layer covered our city bay. Hopefully the cold weather holds on. Then the iceroad between north and… Continue reading Ice, ice baby
