Touring Orust on the Swedish West Coast

Summer has arrived at last! Today I had a fantastic day riding around Orust, an island north of Gothenburg. This is an area I have visited on various occations but I’m not familiar with the
roads and it was a great pleasure to just lay back and follow someone who knows it all. We road some truly amazing roads and bridges today!

Mollösund is a small harbour-villlage that blooms in summer due to tourism but I expect it is rather calm in winter. A sunny day like this it is truly a precious place to visit.

This is certainly a nice spot for a wedding dinner, the guest were slightly surprised when we turned up in search of an icecream vendor. An no, we did not stay for cake 🙂

I was might pleased yesterday when I cleaned the chain. Today I learned how to tighten it, apparently not having a central stand is no excuse, there is still a way. I may make progress slowly, but I’m getting better bit by bit.
