I went with the 'lugn' (calm) group again in today's Energitramp training session. It wasn't so lugn, I had an average of 28kph. We went about 65 km. (see the route roughly on maps.google.com)
When we got to Strömsholm for fika (coffee etc.) for the first time this year we were able to sit outside in the warm sun.
The other groups went a different route. Because the wind at 10 o'clock this morning was gently blowing from the north they went in that direction, with the intention of going a long way. By long way these people mean something between 120 and 150 km. They also go very quickly, average over 30kph.
Fortunately for us the wind was very little, and we seemed to be a group of compatible strength. Sometimes it's difficult to hold a group together when the strong ones get to the front, they tend to go at their favourite speed, and that makes it very hard on the not so strong ones to keep up.
I'm still ahead of the 1000km target for Vätternrundan according to my calendar on their site. I don't have to do a lot more! I've done a total of 708 km so far, add Energitrampet (123km) and Halvvättern (150km) and you get 973 km!
I am planning on a longer ride of some sort next Thursday, when it is a public holiday here (Kristihimmelfärd, ascension day). VCK, who actually lead the groups in these sessions, are doing a run starting 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, I haven't decided yet if I'll join them, or do my own thing.
VCK had a tent at the market place yesterday, so I filled in a form to join. They seem a nice bunch, and it seems to cover all abilities, right down to my level!
