Denmark - a well kept secret

Well, I'm seriously impressed. This country is really nice - friendly, happy people; a great road, rail and public transport system; and miles of gently rolling farmland as far as the eye can see. Maybe a bit bleak in the winter months...but today was absolutely perfect.

Here's my carbon fibre and titanium time trial bike ... er, 5-speed, steel "sit up and beg" rental ... outside a typical Danish church. :


And here's the gorgeous B&B I found on the Internet, a huge horse farm dating back to the 1870's, wonderfully modernized and updated, for the princely sum of $35 a night:



Fifty miles or so to ride in the morning to reach Skagen. I'm praying for no flats or mechanical problems, as "Old Bessie" came with no repair kit, pump or spare tube. What are the chances? Thinking positive...
