ibruegge Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 my brother has just registered me - Sweden, here I come! :-) http://runkeeper.com/race/vtternrundan-5960/31116 http://entry.vatternrundan.se/default_en.htm "VÄTTERNRUNDAN, 300 km long, is the largest recreational bicycle ride in the world. Taking place every summer in mid June, it is open to everyone from 18 and up. This is a unique possibility to experience cycling on a grand scale!"
ibruegge Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Looks very niceI have no idea how I will ever survive 300km in one day, but that is a minor concern hahahah
ibruegge Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 the 30 000 spots were sold out in 3 hours this morning - wow, that is incredible and makes our Argus look fairly unpopular!
milky4130 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 the 30 000 spots were sold out in 3 hours this morning - wow, that is incredible and makes our Argus look fairly unpopular!honestly I'm not surprised as everyone cycles in Sweden, their 9mil population vs our 40mil, but how many have access to bikes & money to get to a race in Cape Town? Vs a recreational ride in a country with excellent transport & cycling friendly infrastructure.
'Dale Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I have no idea how I will ever survive 300km in one day, but that is a minor concern hahahah That's a lekka 'concern' to have...Awesome!

ibruegge Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 So, I am off tonight, via Amsterdam all the way to Sweden - our start is Friday evening at 22:30 - and my flight back is Sunday morning at 6! Am super excited, can't believe having the privilege of being able to do something crazy like this. Pity I miss father's day by a few hours though...
ibruegge Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Good luck, I hope the weather is nice18 degrees and dry apparently... :-)

Slowbee Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 a few comments/questions ... what was the total price tag ? how did your bike handle the trip on the plane ? was it expensive ? and blixem, 33km average that's fast !! What is the cut off time ? why did you camp ? who took the camping gear? @Swiss-van, how far is the place from your place ?
Slowbee Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 oh yes, great ride report ... can you copy and paste onto this thread ?
