Heh! Nope - motionslopp is Swedish for a non-competitive race. There's a lot of distance races here where there's no official winner and often no official time-taking. It's pretty good practise for getting used to riding in a bunch and being semi-competitive. They're quite often 70-100km+ road races, though the race I mentioned "Vättern-Runt" (Around Vättern - http://www.cyklavaettern.com/english/) is a 300km race around Sweden's 2nd largest lake. It has 17000 registered riders each year and I'm registered to ride it for my first time this year.
