If the sun was shining and there was summer heat during the other races of the Bike Week, there were worse conditions for the cyclists in Halvvättern. Despite rain, and sometimes heavy winds, the mood was at the top among the more than 5,000 cyclists who started the race. Home cyclist Johan Svensson, who we got to follow in the web-TV series “Vägen mot målet i Motala”, was one of all satisfied cyclists who made it to the finish line.
We had the pleasure to welcome a participation record of 7567 registered participants to the start of the 10th Halvvättern.
There were the best possible weather conditions this day. The air was a bit chilly in the early morning hours when the first cyclists rolled away, but it soon warmed up to a more comfortable temperature and a lovely sun shone from a clear blue sky.
7 503 registered is a new record! Unfortunately the number of starting and completing isn’t a record.
Most of it can be blamed on the poor weather. If Tjejvättern was a sunny ride, Halvvättern was a windy ride. The winds were so heavy that the end time for finishing was postponed and the final rider crossed the finish line at 8:22 pm.
Never before has so many registered, started and completed Halvvättern. The Sunday gave mild winds and a spectacular sunshine and all the participants smiled after the ride. This was probably the best Halvvättern in history according to most people.
