The Stöcksjö swing. 35 km, gravel road with footpaths 
Shopping or cycling? If you and your party disagree, this route may be the solution - shorten it and start from the parking lot at Ikea and everyone will get their favorite pastime. An easily ramped tour through flat farming landscapes and the nature reserve Ängsbacka. If you fancy a dip, you can take a detour to the swimming area at the northern end of Stöcksjön - or the naturist swimming area Dragonudden in the middle of the lake's eastern shore.

Smultronstället. 35 km, asphalt/gravel 
Perfect little round for a cozy garden cafe - Smultronstället by Holmsjön. Here you get to bike along the water and a small detour to Ön, where you can stop for a bonus coffee at Eljest.

With the wind in your back. 40 km, asphalt 
Light cycling and flat, with a view of the Umeälven Delta as you roll over the bridge from Holmsund to Obbola. Take a break at Smultronstället's garden café or the Skärgårdskaféet in Holmsund. With good timing, you set out just when the offshore wind turns into a sea breeze, so that you have a tailwind the entire lap. You can also wedge yourself up in the observation tower at the Bergö Bridge to enjoy the view of Västerfjärden - especially beautiful at sunset.

The Classic. 35 km, asphalt. 
With Umeå's most classic round as a base, you can make many nice detours. Have a coffee or lunch at Brännlands Wärdshus or Umeå Energicentrum in Klabböle. Turn into Baggböle manor house and take a look at Baggböleforsen and the artwork 811 "The Buddha". Stop for a while in the world's northernmost arboretum. Usually the bike path goes over the Sörfors bridge and on to Stornorrfors and the salmon ladder, but it is closed during the period 19 June to 15 August due to renovations. Slip past Umedalen for an art experience at Skulpturparken and then take a lunch break at Bistro le Garage.

A day by the sea. 42 km, asphalt. 
Take the bike to one of the coast's sea baths! This route is the basis for a day at the seaside. If you're not in the mood for a swim, you can instead stop for lunch or coffee at Bettnessand's ocean bath, Norrmjöle ocean bath or Norrmjöle Golf restaurant.

Top route to Tavelsjö. 65 km, asphalt. 
The Tavelsjö area offers beautiful views, easy top hiking adventures and nice coffee stops by the lake, which is said to hide a sea monster. On the way home, you pass Brännland, where you can fill up the energy depots at the inn or take a trip down the Umeälven valley to look at mighty giant cauldrons.

Round-trip to the coast. 56 km, asphalt.
Roll out to the Kvarkenfisk restaurant where you can enjoy locally caught fish in a magical sea environment. The journey goes via the shore of the Umeälven, up through Gimonäs and Innertavle and then turns south along Täftefjärden. Make a detour and dip your toes at Täfteå bathing area, which is a well-visited beach with a WC available. Once there, you can enjoy the food and the archipelago environment. Why not rent a canoe or spend the night in a boathouse?
