Hi all,
I'm a club roadracer that race on weekends during the summer monthes here in Sweden.
I do both road and TimeTrial with various succes ;o)

I own a TREK 5200 (2001) that I have kitted with a Dura Ace group.
Recently I´ve bought a pair of SPINNERGY X-AERO LIGTH as my new road wheels. I like them a lot and togheter with my carbon fiber frame I hardly feel the surface :o)
SSMMOOTTHH....


Take Care,
//Peter aka ArcSpin

Welcome, Peter! :) What's the terrain like where you ride?

Ahh Sweden!

I visited there on an extended vacation long ago (1970) and have always wanted to return but have never had the chance. I wasn't able to cycle then, but I seem to remember the road conditions were pretty smooth and nice (is that the case now?).

I do recall the long summer nights with light even at midnight. How cool is that? I don't know if I could take the long winter nights though. What do you do during the winter to stay in shape? Do you ride with lights or is there just too much snow and cold?

Welcome to the board!
