Bike and Hike to Särö Västerskog

Bike Ride to Särö Västerskog, Hiking, Sunbathing & Ocean Swim! 🚲🌊☀️

Join us this Sunday for a day outdoors as we cycle down to Särö Västerskog. The goal is simply to enjoy being outside, get some fresh air, spend time in nature, and hopefully make the most of a sunny summer day together.
We'll cycle at a comfortable pace along the Säröleden route, with time to chat and enjoy the journey. Once we arrive, we'll park our bikes and take a leisurely hike around the peninsula through oak forests and along the coastline before heading to the beach.
We'll then spend a couple of hours swimming, relaxing in the sun, eating our packed lunches, and enjoying the sea before cycling back to Gothenburg.
This is a social outdoor meetup rather than a fitness ride. The total cycling distance is approximately 55 km round-trip.
