Denmark = Bike heaven




Today it was a short ride from Arhus to Horsens, only 31.2 miles. We went to bed late, and had a late start after having a nice breakfast at the hotel and a walk in the city, visiting some old churches. We did not know where we were going to end up Horsens of Vegle... We don't have a good paper bike map but the Garmin 800 works great. It took us on bike paths and country roads all the way. The Danish had done an outstanding job making it possible to ride your bike everywhere, whether you are going to work, shopping or touring. We saw a father son and a family of four touring and many others just riding everywhere. The GPS also helps to find hotels and restaurants, we found the hotel in the picture, Jergensen's Hotel (run by Best Western) at a reasonable price on the main walking street.
We are now off to find dinner and go to bed early to be able to do 70 miles tomorrow going to the oldest city in Denmark called Ribe.
