Well, as mentioned in the previous post my trusty old cycling shoes have given up. Today I purchased a pair of new shoes. They are far worse for walking but seem much better for cycling which of course is nice.

Sole Crackage
May 9, 2008
My precious cycling shoes suffer from a cracked sole! After four years of daily summer use and many thousands of kilometers one of them finally gave up and I now have the unwelcome task of finding an equally excellent pair of shoes.
Chilly
March 24, 2008
Last week was pretty cold, at least compared to what we have experienced earlier this year, so the cycling suffered. I had actually planned on participating in a race saturday but a warm bed and excessive amounts of tea seemed like an excellent substitute. During the holidays I have managed to do some [...]
Sunday Ride
March 2, 2008
In what has become a weekly tradition, I joined CK Lunedi for a Sunday ride. Today a fair number of people showed up (last time we were a total of three riders) and seven cyclists left Lund shortly after 9 am. The ride took us due north and for almost two and a [...]

Evening Ride
January 25, 2008
I’m very fond of cycling in the dark. It is a particular feeling to ride with pitch darkness behind and a nice cone of light ahead. Tonight I had some bad luck though, a short while after turning back home the battery of my front lights notified me of it being low on juice. Seems [...]
Weekend Cycling
January 20, 2008
It has been a productive cycling weekend. Yesterday I did a solo 95km ride and today I tagged along on the traditional Sunday ride of CK Lunedi. It was tons of fun to ride in a group again and I will surely find the time to ride with them again. The image shows [...]
First Ride
January 13, 2008
Recently my shiny new Basso Laguna arrived. A beautiful bike and it felt like a fine ride on my trainer. Of course, a trainer is a poor substitute for the real deal. Today, however, I got the opportunity to really try it out and I had a wonderful time! Saw several other [...]
