The Musings of a Shrub

Lund, Sweden

So yeah. My cycling trip from Hamburg to Norway has been on for 6 days, and I'm already in Lund, Sweden! I good effort I think! That's 500km in 6 days! Really good stuff! The first day we only started around 6:15pm, so that doesn't really count anyway. We only had time for like, 20km. The second day we made around 70km to Kropp, but it started raining around 45km in Busdorf (still Germany). I got soaked to the bone! Horrible! 25 kilometers in the sopping rain! Not even dressing from head to toe in waterproof clothing was enough. The next day though, we biked all the way to the Danish border west of Flensburg. We crossed it and set up camp. We made 130km in 2 full days of biking! It was lovely weather in Denmark from the start. Day 4 was the most impressive though. We did a shocking 110km all the way past Kolding, Denmark! We were absolutely dead. Half of the day was biking against insane winds, and all of it was characterized by steep hills and really long straight roads. Still very pretty, and lots of fun. Day 5 was a recovery day-- we didn't get started until like, 6:00. We still made it 40km to a town west of Odense, where we cut through to a truck stop on the big motorway there, and set up camp. Day 6 is today! We got a ride from Odense to Copenhagen, where we had to get a taxi to cross the Great Belt Bridge. We cycled a bit further, and here we are, in Lund, Sweden, searching for maps. Awesome stuff. Don't no when I'll be on again, but I'll try to keep people posted. Cheers!
