Gran Fondo

One of my dreams with the new Stålhästen bike has been to complete a 100 km ride or the Strava version of a “Gran Fondo”. After a morning of PhD supervision and the booking of train tickets to Kalmar in late June for Eddie and me, I set off for my longest ride ever, first to Sävar and then back in a big loop around Tavelsjö, taking me about four hours in total.

As in the past, I was taken back but the incredible landscape around Tavelsjö, our local version of Dalecarlia, with its mountains and lakes. Sadly, there will not be any Tavelsjö Half Marathon this year due to Covid but hopefully I will get a chance again in 2022.
