A group of 4 of us ran the Huddingeleden route yesterday, a great but very tough day out (it took us 9:02). One thing to note - the new bridge across the motorway at Vårby is now complete, so you don't have to make the detour to the next junction, as shown in the map above. I think this is how the Huddingeleden is supposed to be.This probably knocked off at least 1km-1.5km from the route (our Garmins reported 82.5km & 83km respectively). Not sure how this applies to the previous efforts above (amazing times from Sebastian & Johan by the way).
