After one days rest at the Gothenburg office me and a colleague set of at 7.30 towards Alingsås. Lars knew some really nice roads and the only problem was that some of them included steep hills being very hard with a heavy bike like mine. At one point we went up more then 100 m in less then 5 km. In a small village we found the roadsigne below showing a much more caring attitude compared to the larger cities. Could it have been stolen in the UK?. I have learned that you find them quite frequently there.
In Allingsås Lars turned back and I met with another colleague from WSP Acoustics in Gothenburg. He had reassembled his almost 20 years old racing bike but had managed to only get half of the gears to work. I think he regretted that after 20 or so km and he definitely realized that it takes more then just to jump on a racing bike after 10 years to sit comfortably.
The last 60 km had to be done on my own but ca 10 km before my final destinastion, Falköping Anders Tysander (Dept. Managing Director in WSP Sweden) and Hans Elfström (Local department director) showed up with coffe and sandwiches. So close but I can tell it helped. Again I learned the lesson that you can not fool your body not giving back the energy that is consumed.
A big thanks to everybody for your support!
