I am not competative!

Maybe a little bit, maybe! Since I'm working from home today I had the opportunity to take a little longer lunch break, this break was then used for a bike tour. Usually the biking is to take me from one point to another, if a longer one I will listen to the radio, if a short one I don't listen to anything really. For a lunch break ride I have a documentary from the Swedish state radio channel P3 as company, today I learned more about the Columbine shooting. It does put your life into perspective and thankful that you never been around crazy kids like that!

Catching up?

Thank you for donations and handicap!
Wohoo, seems like I might still have a chance in this. Especially since yesterday the Swedish autumn showed itself from it's best side, with blue skies, sun and no wind. So I managed to get up on the bike and bike to work. I have about 4 km to work which takes about15-20 minutes (depending on how awake I am).

There is a tiny difference between the cities where sister dearest and I live. Hers is flat, there is no hills in sight unless their man-made. Mine his, what should i call it, built on hills. This means that biking here is up and down and you and up all sweaty, flushed  and tired, while she can just tramp along and look as good as ever. Just so you now the conditions for this challenge.

Om my way home yesterday I took a detour to town (had some shopping to do) and for that you have to cross a bridge, where you almost always think that the wind will blow you of. I do think, however, that I live in one of the most beautiful cities on earth (and I have visited quite a few). And if you and your bike get tired biking, you can always take a free-ride with the boat across the river.

Just a regular Tuesday

I was a bit lazy with the biking yesterday taking the short routes to work, and I even forgot to start Endomondo for the last bit home from the station. Logging on to Endomondo this morning I can see that I'm in trouble and need to step up my act, since my sister of course choose the day she received 10 extra kilometers to bike another 10 - she is almost even with me now!

10k for my sister as promised

My sister wanted a handicap due to her stressful life as a working mother, and I agreed with a condition; when we reached €100 I would give her 10k. Well today due to an amazing person we hit €100 and then some and true to my word I have added 10k to my sister.

I'm still way ahead of her though!

A brr Monday

It is getting colder here in the Nordic countries, and today was also very windy. Due to some technical issues with my phone this morning, I missed out on measuring the first part of my biking, the issue was then solved during the train ride to Copenhagen. Sister dearest is in trouble, she doesn't have that many days left to catch up as we are now almost half way through the challenge and I am way ahead...

She is baaaaaack :)

After a week of illness and then a visit from the very sister I competing against, I finally got around to get back in to the saddle. The weather today was absolutely fantastic, a bit cold but still. Me and my friend took our bikes down to the seaside for a coffee and then the tad bit longer route home.

I mean, I really need those kilometers since it might happen that we do receive another €30 for the collection and then I owe my sister 10k handicap. Don't forget that you always can see the current status of our little challenge here!

It is fall afterall

You might have noticed that it has been a bit quiet around here. There is a very natural explanation for that, fall germs. After I so kindly gave my sisters 10 kilometers for free when we reached €100 in the collection, I of course became sick. I managed to drag myself to work Monday and Tuesday, with a minimum amount of biking and no thought to actually measure it.

I am trying to cure myself at the moment, there is soup, honey water and loads of sleep and doing nothing on the couch. Boring as it can be, nothing to do though then get better and back at it. Hopefully I feel better this weekend in combination with a sun peaking out and then I show you how it's done!
