• If Carlsberg did cycle tours...

    3 juni 2024, Denemarken ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Packed & ready to go post breakfast. Just the small matter of rush hour traffic but Danish style. Bikes everywhere & consistently cars giving way for bikes. Definitely a critical mass thing. On the way out of Copenhagen a couple of sights to take in - the Carlsberg brewery, not that they were doing tours that fitted in with my schedule. Been to a few brewery tours anyway - how different can it be? Then onwards to the Brondby Stadium. Seemed like the route was taking me into a posher part of town - that didn't seem right. Then out into the sticks. Eventually resigned myself to the fact that I'd missed it, though couldn't see how. Hadn't - and managed to blag my way in. Some electricians were doing some work & they didn't care if I had a little wander in. Not sure the groundsmen working on the pitch agreed. Onwards & still exclusively on bike lanes which continued for around 25 miles from the hostel. Stopped at a World War 1 fort. Not sure how Denmark figured in that - guessing Germany had designs on invading but the info was exclusively in Danish so we'll never know. There was a school trip with the kids running around playing - which didn't quite fit with the place but I can imagine it was a fun place to play in.Meer informatie
