Our last day in the saddle was decidedly damp. There was a fine misty rain that accompanied us most of the way. The streets out of Roskilde was cobbled and we no sooner moved beyond this bumpy road when we were confronted with road works and detours. We were pleased to get beyond the city and travelled through open farmland.
Our route was very straightforward and when we travelled through wooded area or where the road was lined by trees the cycle path was littered with leaves and small branches that had been stripped from the trees by the very strong winds the day before.
Riding into Copenhagen, I speculated that to keep the custom of the red brick making company and the white brick making company, the government had awarded a contract to each to supply half the bricks needed the five buildings of the housing estate we rode past. Each building was striped red and white.
We returned the bikes to the Rosenborg Cykler at 1 pm.
We then took a fast train (2 hours) to Vejle to visit my friend Else.
