My Challenge
As a result of ´finding my feet´ in writing blog posts, I have decided to squeeze some weeks together and hopefully make it more interesting.
With the flu well and truly behind me, I decided there is lost time to be made up and it was time to get back into the gym and train! Pushing myself to longer times on the bike, adding more weight on the machines, I learned one important thing... The stairs are no longer my friend! The perks of being in a second floor is you are able to keep the blood pumping on the way in. The downside to it, is my cries echoing through the stair case!! One of the highlights was it being dry enough to actually getting out on the bike, I felt a huge improvement in my pace, my average speed and it brought great enjoyment to actually do it without having to look at the orange walls of the gym. The temperature was a fresh 0 degrees, which probably aided in my increase in speed! Other than loosing the feeling in my shins (of all places) the biggest heartbreak was realising half way through I did hit start on Strava (if its not recorded, it doesn't count right?) The Journey Continued...
Following on from the last post, entering Denmark after a short ferry trip lasting only 3 hours and 45 minutes, I will land in Hertshals, Denmark and then begin the 148km ride to Møldrup, Denmark. This will mark the beginning of chipping away of the 1703km that lay ahead! Fortunately from the time spent reading maps and planning stage 2 of the trip, it looks to be a fairly even surface with a total of 286 ascent with a descent of 265m.
As you can see from the map, showing the first day it will not be a short day of cycling but it will take me through the majority of Denmark. I will roughly be spending 2 days in country with the second day holding a similar ride. I am hoping to be blessed with some fantastic views of the country, although this depends if I can see it through the sweat and the tears!
