Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

It was much slower than I usually go due to a lot of wind, some "barely a path" roads along the way, the bike being a citybike meant for daily shopping, as well as the fact that I was carrying 50kg (110lbs) of luggage on my back the whole way ๐
Excuses for being a slowpoke aside, it was a good challenge for my general health and fitness journey, and a very pleasant ride ๐
With these conditions its a great result. But hey, numbers are not everything, but the adventure is. Have you had a great ride? Seen some interesting places or people?
Yeah, other than the aforementioned difficult paths, it was mostly well-planned and -maintained scenic designated bike paths, back roads past fields, farms, fjords, and villages, with three medium sized cities and a fjord along the way.
All this AND it served the purpose of me getting home from my dad's place myself without having to pay for public transport!
Denmark is truly great for biking and this trip was a great example of it ๐
