I´m almost feeling like spamming my own blog with ice riding posts. But conditions on the ice is just so totally awesome that i cant let todays ride pass without writing about it. Waking up to a bright sunrise and having the morning off calls for ice riding. As i wrote in the last post… Continue reading One love, one bike

Ice ice baby

Olov.S

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

Olov.S

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.

Fat biking + skiing = win/win

Olov.S

We had to flee away from the dull rainy days by the coast. Just 15 kilometers up country there is this small ski resort called Kåbdalis. 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

A little bit like Hoth

Olov.S

We are having quite a rough start on the winter out by the coast of Swedish Lapland. A few days of cold weather and then temperature goes up and the snow turns to rain. 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

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
