Distans Ler(um)
Sure, my arm still hurts. But it doesn't seem to hurt when I ride. So, I ride. This was the pass I was planning last weekend. It started along the cykelväg to Jonsered and then some grus parts around the station and factory. I could not go quite so fast through here because it was busy. Then it was time to see if there was any ler in Lerum on this fine day.
Every cyclist knows that road along the water and that is where I saw a pile of LVG people going the other way. Today was one of those very strange days where the wind was going west so this section was brutal. No ler so far. There was some fun in the little forest patch but not much. I had my MCK shirt on and half the people look at me with respect and the other half are just plain evil. But then I turned up towards Riddarsten where I was welcome and could get the ler effect. To get my total trip over 40km I needed to take one lap of the running trail. So why not take two? There are some nasty hills there and I understand why running that helped me so much. Aj. So I stopped for a Squeezy gel and was quite pleased.
Then I took the road over to Olofstorp which is kinda busy but a good workout. Once in Olofstorp I wondered how I could have ever lived in such a tråkig place. From there it was time to fly along the old railway line and that was going very well. I didn't really feel extremely weak but I still felt like I was pushing very hard. The hills at Angereds kyrka were still big and nasty. No way to avoid that.
And then we have Lexbyvägen back to Partille and I just can't say enough about how wonderful that road is. And the last bit back home went just fine today so I am improving. This was 2 hours which feels good for me on an MTB.
