Today was my last chance (or have I overused ”last chance” by now?) to check off items from my to-do list for the snow-free season. Cycling to Backvallen was on the list and now I’ve done it.

All through the summer I’ve been jealous of all the mountain bikers I’ve come across on my hikes. I really want to learn trail riding because it will open whole new doors for me (and it looks like a lot of fun!) so I got myself a real bike last week. I already had two bikes,…

It was the warmest day of the year so far and I decided to start the cycling season. I thought I would take it slow and easy, no need to break any records. Then I had the brilliant (and by brilliant I mean, not really) idea to take a small gravel road and it turned…
