Riding NE to Kerteminde

Was that really only 40 km? Only 50? I set out on a ride yesterday to the town of Kerteminde, 20 km NE of Odense. The picture below will link to some images from the ride.

Odense-Kerteminde

I had three hours to do this ride, and I though it would take me perhaps 2 with site seeing. Well, I looked at the sites for the first half, and then had to race home against the wind and the rain to get the kids from school. So much for fast paced riding! The countryside is really beautiful, and the cycling quite pleasant. It is bascially flat, with mild rolling hill, but nothing hard.

Why was it so slow? I think that 1) I am out of shape; 2) I am on a town bike, 3) it was longer than 40 km. How much longer I do not know. So today I will get a cyclometer and get a better feel for the distances traveled.

We're really enjoying the blog, especially with pictures that bring the stories to life. It's a daily read for us.
All's well back in your old neighborhood. Nick is missing Hank, and summer hasn't been the same since he left. Bet they don't have Strawberry Qwik in Odense!

Hi Hathaways,

Glad you are enjoying it. More posts on the way. No, they do not have strawberry quick here but they have a lot of other stuff. Of note is the white chocolate. Hank misses his buddies too. He is adjusting to school little by little. He also started soccer last night at a facility that has more fields than you can imagine.

take care,
