Even though I had 2/3 of the ride rain I loved it. On some roads (like the on in the picture) I just stopped to listen to nothing and enjoy the view :P

the last time was a mistake, I was so cold after the descent that I went straight home (despite dragging brakes to reduce wind chill). Ideally the cable car would be running and one could just ride it down (it's in repairs now). It looks like a proper winter is starting now, so here is to skiing.

for the longest time I rode strictly road bikes, but recently began to discover the dirt trails around me. I'm loving it so much I'm considering getting a disc-brake MTB for the gnarlier terrain.

Twas a bit cloudy today

I have 3 bikes with Continental tyres (GP4000s and Gatorskins) the inner tubes are "normal" ones.

I don't mind the snow or the cold or the wind, but all the salt on the Danish roads freak me out.
