This afternoon I had a mind-numbing headache so I just headed home to rest for a bit. So no MCK training for me. My head cleared and then I felt fine so I went for a spin around the local trails.

But first we start with dagens outfit for all you fashion types. And this is certainly not good press for my phone since you see how crap the picture is in low light. Still, this is the fancy new MCK jacket.

I took off through the little trail at the bottom of the hill which connects to the gravel bike path up to Landvettervägen. My bike finally feels stable so this was no problem and riding up the hill was much less of a pain than running. I just kept climbing and did the 7.5km running trail I used to run in the winter. Then the hills started to hurt. Aj!

After awhile the 5 and 7.5km split and it becomes pure MTB trail. Sven, this is where we need to train! It has a bit of everything but is not going to kill us. There is one gravel downhill towards the end that is tricky but overall this is perfect. But I suggest tires wider than 2.1 for the wooden plank parts. And the SPD was fine today.

I have no clue if I was supposed to ride there but, unlike Skatås, no one minded. If you show respect for others, they are not going to complain. Where I show less respect is out on the cykelväg where people walk 5 across and don't move. Anyway, the MCK jacket earns respect and several smiles from women also. Can I buy another one? =)

The best part of the trip was along the cykelväg towards Utby where I was actually keeping up to a couple of fjortisar on their mopeds. Guess they didn't fix them to go over 30km/h. I even had one chance to pass them but I didn't feel like giving them a reason to run me over.

Finally, I will conclude by saying that I can feel all of my muscles now. Yes...MTB is a full-body workout.
