I want to share with you. Think of me as your two wheels on the road in Tuscany, sharing the good and the bad, the beautiful and the just plain weird as I ride through the countryside. I'll share my favorite coffee stops [...]
Leg 59 Long Beach - Los Angeles (Apr 9): 55 km, climb 161 m. Total distance 5935 km. Last leg of the this adventure, surrealistic feeling... Been on the road since Jan 19, and now, all of sudden (or maybe not that sudden) no [...]
Leg 15 (Feb 6): Pensacola Beach - Dauphin Island, 117 km, elevation 213 m. Total distance 1549 km. Leaving Pensacola Beach in thick fog that made everything damp. A little challanging biking under those conditions. Right before entering Alabama we had a pretty disgusting [...]
Leg 14 (Feb 5): Destin - Pensacola beach, 74 km, elevation 124 m. Total distance 1432 km. Nice warm morning, 19C (65F), late start (10 AM) due to the short ride. Nice strong tailwind (6-7 m/s), really love that! Heading out of Destin was [...]
Leg 12 (Feb 3): Apalachicola - Panama City Beach, 113 km, elevation 162 m. Total distance 1290 km. Leaving Apalachicola just before eight AM. Nice temperature, around 15C (59F), absolutely still. Very humid, after a couple of km everything was covered in a thin [...]

Leg 2: Everglades City - Matlacha 147 km, elevation 95 m. Leaving our nice Everglades City motel, chilly morning, only 7 degress C (44F) in the morning. Riding out of Everglades was like riding next to a National Geografic movie. The wildlife absolutely fascinating. Popped [...]
135 km, total elevation 85 m (!) Started out just after daybreak, beautiful weather. Took a couple of hours to get out of Miami - absolutely love my new Garmin 1030! Once we hit Tamiami trail the ride was smoother. Traffic not bad at [...]
Fem år sedan skidade en kamrat och hans son under 3 sommarmånader genom mellersta USA (rullskidor of course) och då väcktes tanken hos oss att göra en light variant av den resan, korsa södra USA till cykel. Ett par månader efter idén slog [...]
Så var det bara timmar kvar av året 2017 och tid för tillbakablick. Det har varit ett minst sagt händelserikt år för mig både på och utanför cyklingen. Jag inledde året med det planerade etapploppet på Nya Zeeland, The Pioneer MTB Stage Race. https://www.bicycling.se/blogs/pernilla/nedrakning-the-pioneer-mtb-stage-race [...]
