Jimbob:

All this is interesting. I might be a good idea to open a new post, as you said. We can talk some more and I can try to help you if I can. Are you planning any biking this weekend?

Regards
Clas

Thanks Clas, I will do that.

Thanks, there's never a great deal of time to chat on our rides, mayebe a long weekend ride would be better.

>> Are you planning any biking this weekend

Both Emma and I are free, so I am sure we will want to go for a ride on one of the days. Would be good to meet up with you if you are planning to ride too. Is any day preferable?

It would be nice but I am afraid Elisabeth is working tomorrow. What time would you be leaving if I join you on my own?

I just spoke with Clas and he is planning to bring a friend along, I suggested we meet at about 10.30, although we are all flexible on this. I didn't suggest a place, although Emma thinks maybe the pond near the river - Fageldammen/stadsparken?

We just got back from Nästen and had a lovely ride along the red track. We got some nice pics, which I'll put up on our gallery over the weekend.

I'll try and put one here....

Not sure if that'll work??

Let me know what you think about joining us Per.

All u have to do is to put bracket before and after the url
Amazing picture with all that mist

> Let me know what you think about joining us Per.

I think I would like to, if you are not particularly early, we are going out tonight, to Kataline to hear Good Morning Blues, and Thomas Arnesen.

The bridge by the pond, Svandammen, would be fine with me.

Oops, I thought I'd made the image smaller, obviously not, sorry.

Well, 10.30 tomorrow at the bridge by the pond then. I'll call Clas in the morning if he doesn't respond to this this evening.

See you there.

I'm not sure yet how to add URL's here, but I'll try;

<http://www.outbreak-adventure.co.uk/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=6>

If that hasn't worked, go to my link below and add 'galleries' to the URL, then go to the album '01 October 05 - Lunsen, Sweden'. I've also put up a some of our pics from Nästen yesterday.

Take it easy guys.

Are any of you guys out tomorrow evening?

I'm about to head into town to look at possible lights, maybe a better headtorch. If I can't get one, I might give it a miss, last week was quite hard work.

Has anyone got any reccomendations. Per, what was the make of headtorch you were discussing with Emma at the weekend?

http://www.mila.se/ and http://www.silva.se/ ask for one that is good enough for night orienteering and you will do fine, also http://www.sigmasport.com/index_eos.html has some bar mounted rechargeable.

Thanks Per,

They had quite a big selection of headlamps downtowm and I could try them all, none seemed that great, except the really big ones, which are expensive. I then saw a Bric light in the bike shop for 300 SEKS, which was the brightest of the bike lights, although it's LED. I've bought one of those and will give it a go tomorrow. It doesn't seem to be water resistent though.

Thanks Per, helpful as always.

Try,

NC Sport HB
018-384395 070-3843022

Its located 10 km east of Uppsala (a few km north of Lunsen) and they
have good prices on Mila/Silva lamps. In my opinion you need about
20 W on an halogenlamp for MTBing.

Thanks Frederik,

I'll try and get over there sometime soon. I tried my new light last night - I had to take it quite easy and it wasn't ideal.

Cheers, Jamie

Bye for now. Jamie

See you guys tomorrow then

oh, shit, it is deep and wet and murky and cold
 
Onsdagscykling i Uppsala
Yes, it was great going somewhere new. It took a lot of concentration in the dark and I'm sure I couldn't find it again. I thought we were in Nåsten until Clas told me otherwise.

I'll not be around next week or the following one, as I'm flying back to England for a week. If you guys weant any bike bits, etc, let me know.

When it gets cold Berthåga is excellent. The swampy soggy bits become like hard pack. Great fun.

Essentially, following http://www.lowdin.nu/Mtbruntuppsala/English.html, we did route 1 in Berthåga with a couple of detours first 10 Storbacken, later we did 5,6,3,4, 1 and 20. Then through Nåsten on 22 and 6 and back to town on 18. We skipped a bit of 6 that is badly over grown.

Hi Guys,

Enjoy your ride tomorrow. I hope the trails will be dry for you....

It's great that we did Berthåga last week, before the rain.

I'll also miss next week as I'm in the UK until Thursday.
