Nothing better than a good tailwind.

The ferry from Germany to Denmark would take about 45 minutes, and once there we would find a hard-blowing tailwind which would push us through the Denmark countryside with ease. Denmark is a very flat country and with the wind we were able to complete well over 100km a day.  The only problem we were facing was with our tires.  We were replacing tubes constantly.  Considering our bikes are so heavy, we had to be careful not to over inflate them and by this point we had replaced five tubes.

Along our way through Denmark we talked with several fellow bikers who we would ask advice from, things to see/avoid, directions, etc.  While everyone suggested Copenhagen, we learned early on that trying to navigate through major cities wastes a lot of time and is difficult because we are unable to leave our bikes on the street on the fear that something would be stolen. And being our goal was to get through Denmark as quickly as possible we decided to skip going to Copenhagen and ride through Roskilde and Helsingor instead.


As we wait out a hard storm we were served this.  Pure rocket fuel.
