An interesting turn of events

So our ride out of Stockholm was fantastic!
Sign posted all the way it took us a most un touristy route.
After about 8 km we had cleared the city in beneath Huge tower block arranged in neat rows.
It didn't take long and we found ourselves lost.We backtracked to try and find a sign but we couldn't locate were we had ridden because it was all so similar.
Then along came a little tanned women that looked alot like yoda from start wars.
Her English wasn't great but better than our Swedish.
She told us to follow her and soon enought we were back on track.
The next section was amazing as we broke out of the burbs and in to the country.
Quaint little timber houses surrounded but birch,oak and pine looked straight out of a post card.
The road got smaller and smaller hemmed in but imposing pines but then over a small hill and we were looking out on a pristine lake.
So this was really nice but I'll get to the bad part.
As I was riding down a steep hill something snapped.
I stopped to inspect and discovered the quick release had snapped bike useless we stopped to make camp gotta go more next post.

  2. We built the wheels so strong, something else had to break!! Not the sort of thing I've heard of breaking before though. Hopefully you're back on the road again already!
