After I arrive home I do some stretch excersises and then I hose down the bike, my legs and shoes - it must be done both since my bike is placed in my kitchen when I don't ride it. (I live in a roomy 1 bedroom apartment and there is also a fancy road bike taking place up in the bedroom). Check out the dirty details and the need to hose down the bike should be clear, surely most of you are familiar with mud but I guess

A little statistics

Ride duration:     Aprox. 5½ hours. (Would have been 4 without the camera)
Distance             70 km (44 miles)
% Single track:    65-70% (estimate)
Ascends:            650 meters (2130 feet)
Top speed:         55 km/t (34 mph)
Max pulse:         177 bpm

Bike riding in Denmark is very safe, along most roads there is bike lanes and car drivers are used to bikes. In nature there are no real posion snakes, no bears, no tigers tigers, no elephants, no real posion insects with one exception and the most dangerous thing in the woods would be horses being ridden by reckless people.

I hope you enjoyed my RR, if you made it this far I guess you did, and should you have any comments or questions feel free to contact me: here.
