Start at Hjulsta bro (Hjulsta bridge) at 8 am, Jan-Olof Andersson.
We lost a lot of time the first kilometers because of struggle with thin ice but finally it got better.
A smaller incident but Måns Diedrichs had luck, he got away with a wet shoe.

Skating towards Kvicksund.
At Kvicksund. We skated towards Kvicksund on the north shore. To our surprise and disappointment there was no ice on our planned way back on the south shore...
...so we had to order - and wait for - a taxi. We lost 45 minutes of skating by this. (The 7 km taxi ride is not included in the 130 km of the tour.)
Sven Rudberg in the taxi.
Ulf Haase, Jan-Olof Andersson, Patrik Permats, Måns Diedrichs and Sven Rudberg.
We could't pass Djurgårdsudd on ice...
...so we passed it like this instead.
Approaching Strängnäs.
Approaching Strängnäs.
Second lunch in Strängnäs.
