Gratis midsommar Day 1 - Cross premiere!
Since I exercised my upper body this morning, I thought it would be best to just train LVG so I only use my legs. Jaja, here come the angry comments. =) So after readjusting my TRP Eurox brakes for the 100th time on my Merida, I was too lazy to change the tires to LVG so I just went out with my cross tires.
Like always, I freak for the first minutes after a jump from 2.1" to 35mm tires and it really is true that cross 'brakes' are absolutely useless. So it is nice that UCI will allow disc brakes but not so nice since I just bought a new frame.
Anyway, I headed towards Sävenäs directly into a hell of a wind but I was moving along well on a bike that is 2kg lighter than my MTB. With a weight difference of THAT much, it is hard to miss the difference. Then I took a quick lap of the Kvibergs GP track and headed back through Utby and home. A quick but effective tour.
