This time next year..day 3

Hi all,

So day three.. time flies when ur sat on ur bum all day.. on this day in the future (365 days in the future to be exact).. anywho..day three will see me travel from Ottersberg in Germany across my next border into Sweden through Denmark. For all u factlets out there this will be my 6th country in 3 days. Blimey!

I have thought about this route a bit and decided that one thing I must not miss is this:




The Oresund Bridge which connects Copenhagen in Denmark to Malmo in Sweden. It was incredible, 5 miles long and I rode over it on Arctic Ride 2011. The main thing I remember was how windy it was..I also missed the viewing point because I was concentrating on finding my junction..but not this time.. :)

For all of those who are immature, like me, I will also be going past the most exciting place I have been to before...



Tee he he ... I do love Middelfart

Anyway..back to the proper stuff.. Another fun thing is that I will be travelling through another country without staying in it..altho probably a good job with those prices!! For all of you that have not been to Scandinavia..be warned it is very expensive!! Worth it..but expensive..for example..when my wife came to see me in Oslo we spent £25..yes £25 sterling on a macdonalds meal each...eek..

Day three will see me finish up..around 391 miles later in Landskrona, Sweden, so another long days riding.

 

So..I have been searching for fun things to tell you about Landskrona but there doesnt seem to be much.. I really must pick some more exciting places.. ha ha On wikipedia..it says that they have a football team which is in the second division in Sweden and a new-ish railway station..which I saw and got lost around it..but for those that want to see what its like, heres a few piccies:


 
 
And of course the previously mentioned railway station..ha ha
 
 
 
So, I think thats it for now. Hope you enjoyed that and check back for tomorrows instalment and see where I will be going in 365 days..

Suzuki GSX650F review

Hello there, And welcome to another edition of the Arctic Ride blog! My trip might be a distant memory (last year in fact) but there is still plenty to come from me both for Arctic Ride 2014 post trip (like this blog) and future adventures. I'm pleased to announce that earlier this week my blog reached 45,000 views which I am both pleased and humbled about. So with this blog I wanted to share my thoughts on the bike I rode on my ride to the Arctic this year, the Suzuki GSX650F. I've had many people ask me to review the bike and, well, here it is. My GSX 650F and I at the Arctic Circle in Norway As a background in my 9 years of riding I've ridden a smallish cross section of bikes, but I feel it has been enough for me to put some context behind my views on the GSX650F. An example of some of the bikes I have ridden include my first bike, Suzuki Marauder 125, a Yamaha Virago 535, Kawasaki ER5, SV650S, BMW LT 1200, Harley Davidson Street Glide 1800, and a Kawasaki ...

Why is the Dalton so dangerous?

Welcome to The Arctic Rider blog, Its now less than a year until I start my quest to conquer The Dalton Highway in Alaska, one of the worlds' most dangerous roads. The new 'Arctic Ride Alaska' poster I've still got a lot of planing to do and I've been working away in the background to get a lot of things firmed up, but I probably won't know the key parts of the trip, such as the exact dates I'll be going and the bike I'll be riding, until the Autumn. Anything I know before then I'll be staring with all you loyal readers of my blog. In this blog, I'll be covering why The Dalton Highway is so dangerous , and why I'm hoping you will share some of your very hard earned Pounds (and other currencies for non-UK readers) in exchange for the danger and suffering I'll be putting myself in next year. Firstly though, I must say a huge thanks to an unnamed Devitt Insurance employee who very kindly donated their employee-of-the month priz...

Looking back: Arctic Ride Iceland

Hello, Thanks for tuning into another edition of the Arctic Rider blog. Wow, so its been a week and a half since I returned from my epic trip to Arctic Iceland. The dust has settled and I'm back at work.. it almost feels as thought it never happened, a long and distant memory but luckily I have lots of photos to remind me it was real :) Day 12 - Southern Iceland The weather in Iceland completely battered me and I feel lucky to have got through this ride in one piece, having met other bikers who been blown off their bikes in the wind, dropped them on gravel roads, and been soaked to the skin by the rain. The battle against the elements was 100% worth it though to raise so much money for two amazing charities in Tiny Lives Trust and Cerebra. At the time of writing, Team Arctic Ride has raised OVER £5,000 for this ride. I'm honoured and humbled to have had such amazing support from so many dedicated supporters! I will be closing my donation page at midnight 31st July...
