28 januari Klingerfjärden

We started at Indalsälven but after 20 minutes and 1 km we went back to the cars and drove to Stornäset. Realy nice ice hard, pitchblack new ice. Icecold outside also..;-) One in the group got white spots on her cheeks. Sunny and not so big area to skate, although we got some 14 km so I think it was an okey day accept for the start.

20 january, skatan, klampenborg

Klampenborg 2 km, rektur på urdålig is, det var hopfrusna flak utanför kubikenborg. Bilen till Juniskär där var det 2 cm dvs för tunt. Bilen till Skatan där var det ett muddringsverk!

8 january- Klingerfjärden

A foggy day, with just a few minutes of sun, later on when the fog disappeared it got clouded and started to rain. 18 km on a downmelted snowice. We got to some real nice new ice but it was a day or two more of icegrowth before its possible to skate on it. The rain was so cold that it frosen around my icesticks. Also the ice got overice from underneath, and was filled with water due to a sudden change in airpressure. The three of us started at Eriksdal and skated to Stornäset, we took a coffebreak at Långharsöra.

7 January Björköfjärden

I was one of three leaders today, wew gathered about 50 persons at Björköfjärden in todays cold (-7) but sunny weather. We created 5 smaller groups and my group skated for about 20 km. Afterwards me and some of the participants took a part (12 km) of same way one more time in a higher speed. A little bit i regret that I didn´t take my own car today, if I had done that I cold´ve stayed and skated some more. I´ve felt in the leg for quit a while that I actually have been iceskating (for me) a lot more than earlier, so it always feels smooth and easy nowadays.

6 januari Mingen och Björköfjärden

Today me and two other leaders took two groups out on Mingen. My group skated 20 km, the coffebreak included!
Afterwards me and one other leader went to the ice at Björköfjärden, it was really nice weather today, and the ice hade become a little bit thicker than when I was there the other day... I don´t recomend anyone to go out on the ice though, lots of places were it was possible to take a bath. 10 km totally on this place. The not so funny in this is that yesterday I didn´t even think that it was possible to find any ice, although during Thursday we had a heavy snowfall, but it seems like everything came as rain in the area around todays ice. And anyhow my legs needed a little bit of rest after the latest runningsessions..., so I rested and took a Bodypumpclass at my workout place yesterday instead.

3 januari- Mingen och Björköfjärden

Inte hade jag kunnat tro att det var fin is på Mingen, men ändå åkte jag och M dit idag. Vi fick en fin tur på okej is. På några ställen var det lite överis men inte sån som skridskorna fastnar i, utan sån som låter och ger sprickor i isen. Två varv åkte vi med en fikapaus. 26 km vart det

Dagens behållning blev dock en tur på Björköfjärden. Isen där var idag något för vana isrekare, inte bara vana skridskoåkare. Inne i Skrängstaviken startade vi och åkte till råken som alltid bildas vid det gula huset åt det ena hållet, (gick att passera och fortsätta en vik till men vi valde att vända..)och till en udde med ankor åt det andra hållet. Mellan Mårtensholmarna var det också en opasserbar råk.

Det blev inte så stort åkområde och det var öppet vatten utanför, ca 7cm is som tunnades ut, råkar två stycken samt ett öppet parti i ena änden av viken. Men vi åkte i alla fall 9 km med massor av pikande.

30 december Öjesjön

Today 14 persons gathered for iceskating at Öjesjön. About the same gathered for iceskating at Storjön. I was one of two leaders and we created two smaller groups at Öjesjön, people tend to concentrate better in a smaller group, and also looking up for difficulties in a better way. Totally 26 km beginning with nearly no wind, and ending in a strong wind. During the coffebreak we did a fire. No sun today but a lovely day. We met two small private groups and one medium big group from Härnösand.

1 january- Vikarn

First time this year!.. :-) Me and M went to Vikaren, when we walked to the car it wasn´t daylight but it started snowing. About quarter past nine we stood on a snowy ice. Because I knew were it was thinner last time we did take a trip for 17 km. We carefully passed some critical parts, but decided to go the same route I did last time. A really nice first trip with snow in our face. It something special with falling snow in the face, cold in a special nice way! We skated and took a fast coffecup behind the car.
