This is a special entry in the sense that it's not about a typical burger joint; it's about the lunch I had while taking a break from downhill mountain biking the ski-slopes at Lindvallen, Sweden. Downhill mountain biking is my new favourite hobby: it's fast, intense, tricky and exhausting, even without pedaling.
We had a few rides in the morning to get used to the hills and bikes and then a few faster ones because it's so great. Then we needed to catch our breath, because when you get tired and lose concentration you'll end up on your face in one of the fast bends. So we had lunch, and this is just an excuse to talk about downhill mountain biking.
After lunch it started raining. The biking was still great, but the slopes got slippery. Worst of all though was riding the ski-lift uphill: it was freezing cold.
Where: At the top of Lindvallen Bike Park, Sweden
Burger: A typical, what we in Sweden would describe as Sibylla-burger: bun, fried patty (not too much beef-taste), lettuce, tomato, onions and hamburger dressing. The burger is the sauce: a sweet, yet fresh, pink sauce. Probably a mix of ketchup and mayo, but neither can be singled out, with a hint of pickles. Yummie sauce, non-descript burger.
Drink: Coke, for some extra sugar when battling the hills in the afternoon.
Side: Nachos. Probably they didn't feel like firing up the fryer in the summertime. The nacho chips aren't bad, just way out of place.
Cost: Some 80 Skr all in all. Over-priced, of course, but not worse than expected at this location.
Question: One I've been asked regarding this blog: where are the photos?
