Our road racing season 2016, part 4

Things are changing. Parts of Ensliga Bergens cykelklubb have now entered the

Göteborgsgirot, 140 km, on the 7th of May

(We borrowed this picture from Göteborgsgirot. Hope that's OK!)

instead of the 70 km long Stadsgirot. We entered a kind of contest where you got a voucher to enter a race of your choice (of all the Göteborgsgirot options) and in a fit of hubris we registered for the 140 km version. We don't recall having ever ridden more than 82 kilometres in one go, and we have never had the opportunity of having a coach, so we have absolutely no idea how it will go but... Hey, let's do this!

And then the Nationaldagsloppet race (or rather the organisers of the race) have decided to not run it this year, "for different and good reasons". They don't write what these reasons are on the homepage, but we have no choice but to believe them. Anyway it's a real pity, because we really liked this race and looked forward to entering the 104 km race this year.

Oh well. Things change, and progress is always a good thing. If you want to find what races are going on around you go here (Swedish only).

Ride safe!
