WELCOME!

This blog is part of a book project!

It is just amazing that we have 95 795 lakes bigger than 1 hectare (i.e. 100x100m). Together they cover approximately 40 000 km²
or 9% of the total area of Sweden.

So why not try to ride around them all! (it is rather impossible I know.. but anyway...)

This is the Riding Around the Lakes Manifesto:

1. You must choose the smalles rideable/walkable path available as close to the lake as possible (it means a lot of gravel roads, bike paths, MTB paths, running paths and yes sometimes you have to walk with or even carry the machine!)
2. Log the ride and save as gpx
3. Take at 5-9 photos and log the spot to the map
4. Try to cover all paths leading to the lake (even if you have to turn around) ...but do not breach closed private roads.
5. Add facts about the lake
6. Show on a large map of the whole country where the lake is placed and in which county
   (e.g. Lake #001: 190718 Långhalmen, Dalsland
7. Add date, the length of the round trip and the machine used
