March 19<\/p>\n
The day started out with a scare. I usually cycle to a start, but this one was about 100 km away, so I took the van. Before I got in, I went through everything: helmet, gloves, shoes, shoe-covers, vest, wind-jacket … everything, I thought.<\/p>\n
But I forgot that I planned to use a little backpack this time and in it were my money, food, telephone, spare tubes, pump, puncture repair kit …<\/p>\n
I didn’t realize this until I was at the parking lot and was unloading the bike.<\/p>\n
For a split second I hesitated … should I not start?<\/p>\n
But that went over. Calle loaned me 100 kr, Daniel his pump and a tube. I knew Mogens would let me send over the starting fee later.<\/p>\n
I started.<\/p>\n
I was particularly worried about one stretch, the bike path between \u00d6deborg and F\u00e4rgelanda. It would be covered with gravel, crushed stones, and they tend to cut through tires. Once I got past that, the only thing I was concerned about was making that 100 kr last when it came to energy.<\/p>\n
I ended up with a good group, a very good group. I was seldom alone, mostly in the hilliest part, where I ended up last.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, we pretty much stayed together and it was a good team the whole way around.<\/p>\n
The route was just as hilly, even slightly hillier than the first one I did at Trollh\u00e4ttan. It was a tad longer, but it took about 2 hours and 10 minutes less time to get around. That was good for my self confidence.<\/p>\n
