Yesterday we raced the 5th race of the national series in our capital Stockholm. In the middle of the center there is a park called Kungsträdgården and there they had made a tecnical course mostly on pave. I was feeling pretty good in warmup, jumping the barriers and sliding the corners. I had fun racing but had not much chance to win. Magnus Davell, Team Kalas rode strong in the corners and took the win. I places 2nd and I am also sitting in second place in the overall.
Today I had a super nice and looooong ride. Just about riding from sunset to dark. Perfect day!
Next up will be Borås and Gothenburg. Perfect, because it´s close to home and I can sleep in my own bed =)

At home in my sofa again after this seasons firts CX win. The national series, Merida-Northwave cup nr 3 and 4 in Lidköping this weekend. Our home is about 70kms from Lidköping and it was like racing on home turf. Yesterday I managed to get a 3rd place after a fast race. Today I walked away with the win after a very muddy and demanding race. 2 degrees, rain and wind made the race pretty hard. Magnus Darvell, Team Kalas was racing hard up front. I knew that I am strong in these conditions so I was riding in a solid pace about 10 sec behind. Halfway through the race I found myself in the front and rode the rest of the race alone.
Happy with a win and it also ment that Me and Magnus are on the same points in the overall, so we will both race in the yellow leader tricot next weekend.
Full gas =)
Back home again after a nice weekend of CX racing. I had fun and felt better and better on the bike. I am far from use to that bike and I am really looking forward to get to know it better. I had ok legs and thay took me to the podium twice. Both saturday in Falun and todays race in Ludvika. After taking to 2nd places I thought that I would take the lead in the overall but I am sitting in second, a few points behind.
Great racing and cool to se that the CX-scene is alive and kicking in Sweden. Winter is cold and people are not use to cycling during this period. Despite that the amout of starters is quite high. Keep up the good work.
I am using the national series to keep fit and get quality training. I go full trottle and always trying to make a good result, if I make it, it´s a bonus, if not I have at least had a good workout. MTB will always be my nr1.
