Out And About.

[mongers]

Just got my mountain bike back from the shop - complete overhaul.  Now to start riding (after it gets above freezing).

Yeah, I'm only just brushing off the winters' cobwebs myself.

[Liep]

Cycled a bit in Jutland where 5-10 houses is a town and they have at least one church each.


The hilly country side of Jutland:


Old lignite mine:


Weather was very good on the 3rd day after the 2 first drowned in rain and wind:

Liep, nice photos. 

Looks like good riding conditions.

Denmark is as flat as a Filipina.

In Norway people are born uphill.

[mongers]

Popped out late afternoon and did a 25mile loop up onto the Downs to check the byways, which are still pretty waterlogged so another few weeks before I can use them.

On the way up there, had to stop as five fallow deer stags ran out in front of me, one of which was a white hart, never seen one of those in broad daylight, usually at dusk or night-time

Visited one of my favourite hill forts this evening, but I can't wait for the uplands to dry out so I can avoid the traffic and main roads in the valleys and more populated areas.

You just need some proper tyres. On One is having a sale

Damn those must weigh a ton, the ones I used on this bike are 650g each, but are 32mm, which is the maximum I can get on the frame and that's with the mudguards removed.

Flat?  Yeah.

Flat?  Yeah.

But a lot of wind up there, apparently.

Found a summer holiday for mongers and Liep.

I think you'd love it.

Norgy, thanks for that, it looks wondrous.

Yes it does, Norway is wonderful but it's not bicycle friendly unless you're Froome or similar.

That route looks very nice though, start high end low is always fun.

[Norgy]

It's one usually taken by bike. You start in the high mountains.

So, it's less demanding than most routes here, and very scenic.

[Liep]

Norway is very scenic in general, if you disregard the travesty that is Oslo.

It's been a while since I've been to Norway, maybe I should try that in September.
