The ride to Sundsvall was great because: (1) the sun was out and shining, (2) I rode on the Swedish national motorway without getting squashed, and (3) I made a lot of distance during the day. In the evening darkness when I was making my approach to the city from the hills and saw the city sparkling in the inlet below it looked a lot larger than I had expected. It was my fourth straight day of riding north from Stockholm, and when I found out that an elite league hockey game was scheduled for the next evening I decided to stay for an extra day. The hostel accomodations were rather choice, which also factored into the decision to stay. This is a view of the city from the surrounding hills. (11-2-04)
