Just got back yesterday from a sudden 28 hour trip ,710 miles in northern Sweden.
The journey turned out to be longer than expected since I made a stop to meet up with a friend in Sollefteå. (and took a wrong turn or two..)


Start.

Image


First stop to adjust the headset.

Image


The meet up in Sollefteå.

Image


At last a well deserved coffee break after 280 miles.

Image



On the way back to Sollefteå, it was already night and with the temps hitting 3C at 23:00 I decided to spend the night and not continue.


So I said no to freezing to death and getting eaten by a bear.

Image



And took instead a cup of coffee.

Image


The next day warm and fresh I went on my merry way.

Image


This place is actually called Gnarp. I loled right there.

Image


I went through this little rest stop on my way home. I had to turn back just to take a picture of it.

A great trip. I have driven by car from Stockholm to Are via Ostersund in winter. I would love to do it in summer on two wheels

Thanks guys! It was a very nice ride indeed. Probably the last for the summer.

I hear Norway is fantastic. Lots of nice twisty roads. Will definitely visit next year!

It can get boring in some places here, with all the straights. You have to find smaller, older roads to enjoy.
