I woke up this morning, ten minutes before SVT (Swedish Public Television) was knocking at my door. Feeling a bit lightheaded I tried to answer some questions before taking off. Light snow came falling as I left my family waving, waving back I finally realized that I was on my way.

The first bit was easy, riding on the shoulders of shear luck pushed through Dalarna. Though I was slow I kept going and did not think much more about that, keeping in mind that I have been inactive for some weeks, waving at some people who honked me with their car horns along the way.

Around five in the afternoon I had to stop for the third time to gather some energy. I talked a bit to a girl who was working in a gas station, we realized that we were not alike on the wanting-to-travel issue but she offered me a second cup of coffee and I was happy. I called a friend/family in Uppsala to see if I could stay the night.

No problems so I decided to go the last 45k in the dak with the aid of two small diodes on my bike. I won’t do that again for a while. too much traffic and the buggers meeting me did not mind turning their headlights off very often. I arrived around nine in Uppsala to find that the front wheel break had been pushing the front wheel, making it half way braked probably through my whole trip. Ha ha!

I would like to recommend Groa i Wassbo for people biking in Dalarna or anyone else for that matter, It is a beautiful organic green house café, right between Falun and Borlänge with “Sverigeleden” passing right by, “Fika” is excellent by any standards and they have a 10% discount for people on bicycle! Wohoo – check it out!
