Ränneslättsturen is on!
I decided to not change anything on the bike right now. I loosened the steering a bit since it was too tight against the bearing which was causing my uncertain drifting. Now it is superb! So I can mention Ränneslättsturen in every entry so my blog can appear with the others on Långloppscupen.
The route I just took was heavy on XC. Starting as usual from Puketorp and into my fantastic little blue trail out to Bläcktjärn. I turned left and then right at a little unmarked trail which I rode with Hansen last summer. Parts of this are just horrible and other parts are brilliant. Either way you can't get more XC than this. It started raining and everything became quite slippery. There was a rather large root that was no match for Sid. Or, well, I did get the front wheel over but the back slid and sent me flying. But this is normal.
Since what I saw today is worse than any långlopp I will see and since today went well, I think I can stop with the XC for the moment and concentrate on grusväg and distance. 78km is a wee bit more than what I did this morning...and the race is next weekend.
