Cycle to Lovön

The cycling trip continues the following week. This time, we cycled to Lovön, a much shorter distance than our first cycling trip to Tyresta National Park. The route has lesser uphills. I am glad we chose this destination because Lovön (ön = the island) is scenic and has very large blueberries. I was disappointed that we did not bring huge boxes to store the blueberries. 

This is a 2-day cycling trip. We camped near the waters on Lovön. The first day had a distance of 38km and it took me 3 hours and 45 minutes. The next day was way shorter - 19km and it took 1.5 hours only! You can imagine how surprised I was that I was home so quick. Haha!

At 11.45am, we started our ride towards Ekerö kommun. We decided that we will have lunch along the way. We cycled past Drottningholmslott, one of Sweden's UNESCO World Heritage. It is a palace and the garden is open to public. 

Cycle to Tyresta National Park

Summer break has started. I had a plan for my summer holidays but everything is cancelled because of Corona. So, it is just Stockholm for me for my summer break. For this summer break, the plan is to do a cycling trip. I bought a bicycle in April and I cycle to work from May onwards. I invested in two cycling bags which can be attached to my carrier. These cycling bags will contain all the items I need for my cycling trip. It is not a multiple-day trip. I am not an experienced cyclist, so I do not have the stamina to cycle multiple days. 

This is a 2-day cycling trip to Tyresta National Park. The plan is to camp in the national park. Thankfully, the national park is spacious enough to accommodate several campers. I am very paranoid when I am within close proximity to humans now. 

On the first day, the distance is 47km and there were a couple of uphills and downhills. It took me 4 hours 18 minutes to ride the distance. Gosh, the uphill ride burnt my thighs! I did not understand why there are uphills. Won't it be easier to flatten the ground? Gradually, I found out that there are pipes underground. 

On the second day, the distance is 42km and it took me 3.5 hours. I was thankful it took lesser hours and also, we took a different route.
