Lachlan Morton, a notable endurance cyclist, recently completed a 300-kilometre mountain bike route in Bergslagsleden, Sweden, in 15 hours and 21 minutes. This ride, said to be a possible new fastest known time on the trail, proved challenging due to wet conditions and difficult terrain, particularly in the early hours. However, as the ride progressed and the trail dried, Morton found his rhythm, ultimately enjoying the experience amidst the beautiful yet relentless wilderness setting, encountering only a few hikers along the way.
"It had been raining overnight, so it was really wet in there, and it was slick as hell. It was all rocks and roots with zero traction, a proper hiking trail."
"The first half felt like I was just against the trail and it was trying to kill me and I was trying not to die, and in the second half, I felt like I'd made peace with it and worked it out."
