Video: 5 hour mountain bike ride in the rain

Yeah, here are some pictures and the video from the awesome mountain bike ride we did in Sandsjöbacka yesterday. 5 hours, (4 h and 15 min excluding stops to check the map etc) in the rain, on the mountain, in the forest and in the mud!

Ready for the ride, I got my gear on!

Notice the elevations :P We didnt pause runkeeper when we took a break, hence the slow pace ;) Quite a few happenings, I had a couple of really hard falls (and I am so bruised up!), AND my left shoe clipped stuck to the pedal so I couldn’t release the foot from the pedal! Lucky me it wasn’t when going down a hill or near sharp rocks.

My shoe- stuck to the left pedal

I’m just happy I didnt get badly hurt!

Team effort to fix my clips and shoes We got a bit of track and we had to cross the forest before it got dark as the rain poured down. Several of the tracks were flooded, and we biked through mud, tiny rivers and puddles that were as deep 30 cm.

There was a lot of water, and I was loving it!

Me (Iris Classon) and my bike, completely drenched in mud!

And more water!

In the forest

Fun stuff

Time for a break!
