Ride I did for Work.

I think this’ll come under the heading of spectacular effort to non cyclists but medium effort for regular fit cyclists. However as I’ve become slow and flabby following the acquisition of children and a managerial job it was a decent effort!

I am particularly proud of the quality of punning!

I have never thought about climbing a mile. Its quite a challenge in Denmark as it is rolling countryside but not very high. You will be looking forward to everesting next then
Well done on your challenge.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Danish Lake District near Ry, and I think some time ago mentioned visiting the highest points in Denmark, all 4 of them! Danish hills are to British hills as British hills are to actual Alps!
It’d be 7 times the climbing, or 36 ascents of Bacup Rd, I think for an Everest. I’d need to actually do some training for that!

I dont have trouble riding mountains anywhere. The problem with Danish "mountains" for me is not long after you get the pressure on your legs. Your going down hill again. Then upand down etc. With a proper hill or mountain, I find it easier to keep the pressure on. I wonder how many miles I would have to ride on different roads to accumulate a mile climb in Denmark 😁
