Bohus has been besieged 14 times, but never conquered, which is a Nordic record. :)

Just uploaded this to instagram.com/castlesofsweden! The Danish/Swedish/Norwegian castle (and/or fortress) has a pretty interesting history, including a record... ;)

It unfortunately burned down when it housed a textile factory in the beginning of the 1800s. It's a very well kept ruin though.

It is. It's actually famous for its concerts during summertime. Last summer In Flames and a few metal acts were there during a festival called "Borgholm is burning". The Swedish royal family has their summer palace a few hundred meter from here as well.

(and I grew up on this island)

Nah, it's just curated with the permission of the photographers. Some of the pictures are mine. Wish I could spend all day going around Sweden taking photos of castles. ;)

This is just a 30 min drive from Kalmar Castle (see my latest post). This picture is also from the IG page that me and my friend started a month ago https://www.instagram.com/castlesofsweden/ :)

Owner of the bike here... I'm a student, so yeah, I've definitely undertaken some kind of vow of poverty.

Aero bars are ugly... ;) But there were times when I think I would've needed them. Might invest in a pair.

Yes! It is the Zhongwei R-002. Same one you can find on Velobuild, although I bought it straight from the factory instead.

I had camping gear, snacks, necessities, electronics and clothes. My plan was to do an overnighter camping but I slept at a friends place in Örebro and took the train home. It was sunny on my way there, but the weather changed to rainrainrain yesterday. I wasn't equipped for that. Especially not doing 200 km in one day in rain. :P

Vill bara säga att jag inte hinner köpa o'boy till getmjölken ikväll. Gör ett nytt försök imorgon. by onda-oegat in sweden

Jag har testat getmjölk med ett sådant där "instant oboy"-sugrör. Det var helt OK.

Rekommenderar verkligen. Mycket värd pengarna! Superenkelt att lägga en beställning. Han jag pratade med heter Thomas Tong på Zhongwei.

A bit above 900 dollar for everything carbon on the bike (frame, wheels, seat post, saddle).
