Steve's Biking Blog: July 2009
http://stevecocksbike.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 July 2009. Day 8 - Lund to Malmo. Many years ago when Susie and I arrived back In Sweden after a particularly long holiday touring Italy we told the lady at SJ (Swedish Railways) just what a pleasure it was to be back in Sweden after all our troubles we had in Italy. We came back from that holiday with many good dinner party stories of how things are done in Italy and how fustrating things were. Well I have one now I can tell about Sweden, the county where I thought they get everything right.

Steve's Biking Blog: Day 1 - Copenhagen to Rudkøbing
http://stevecocksbike.blogspot.com/2015/06/day-1-copenhagen-to-rudkbing.html
Tuesday, 23 June 2015. Day 1 - Copenhagen to Rudkøbing. Stayed at the Urbanhouse which is a hostel we found last time Susie and I were in Copenhagen. They do a wicked veggie hotdog. I chose to stay in the 10 man room only to find it was mixed! Lunch was perfectly timed as it rained very hard while I ate, then stopped when I was ready to leave. The afternoon ride was of course tougher. Legs were tired energy levels fluctuating and the wind was pretty much head on at times. No wonder the area is do...Showe...

Friday, 27 June 2014. Day 8 - Strömstad to Uddevala. And that's the end for this year. Last night's stay in Strömstad was very pleasant though the hotel was a disappointment. Up and out early as I needed to get to Uddevalla in good time. Great cycling with only a couple of really crappie roads to contend. One was so overgrown I was seriously expecting to just end in a forest clearing! So posted her back and caught the train. Back in Stockholm tonight in my own bed and a hug from Susie! Good night's sleep...

Steve's Biking Blog: Day 4 - Eckernförde to Boltenhagen
http://stevecocksbike.blogspot.com/2015/06/day-4-eckernforde-to-boltenhagen.html
Friday, 26 June 2015. Day 4 - Eckernförde to Boltenhagen. Great meal last night sitting ion the hotel veranda overlooking the harbour. Asked for a local fish dish and something typically German for desert, wasn't quite expecting something that tasted like Cherry Nypoon Soppa with ice-cream on the top but what the heck. On the road by 0740 and did my best to follow the B76 but its wasn't easy. The bike lane continually vanished or took me on wide 5-10km loops (or so it seemed! Tough navigation to follow t...

Wednesday, 25 August 2010. Day 14/15 – August 23rd and 24th - Travelling Home. Getting back tool 2 days primarily because I couldn’t plan things to be too close to each other. Having arrived in Kemi yesterday I could have in theory taken the train down to Turkhu (if I had left Haparanda earlier). But this would have been a close call and frankly it was nice not to have to stress out and rush. Train left at 0830 and an hour later we arrived in Oulu where I had to wait until 1545! Sunday, 22 August 2010.

Steve's Biking Blog: April 2013
http://stevecocksbike.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 April 2013. Day 3 - Riihimäki to Kuovola. Today was destined to be a tough day and it certainly didn't disappoint. I calculated that today was going to be about 130KM which didn't seem too difficult. However due to a slight change of plan I didn't plan on staying in Kuovola but instead catch the 1722 to Helsinki with the intent of meeting up an old friend who I hadn't seen in 11 years. I didn't sleep so well as I was way too hot and bed so narrow I thought I was going to fall out! Reached the...
