A day through the dunes: more offroad gravel than the gorgeous paved cycling paths Denmark is famous for - those are saved for Route 475. Route 1 is hardcore. Well, okay, it’s not all that crazy, but I was happy with my new 45mm tires. Smooth riding, and enough grip.

The route went through a kind of dunish desert, all grass and sand. Scattered all over were little houses - holiday homes for the Danes, I assume. Even though some of them looked legit.

The addiction to gentrified coffee was too great, so I stopped at a hip place in a little surf town. I’m glad my in-head currency conversion isn’t very fast: €13.60 for a coffee and a cake. Denmark makes you feel poor - which makes the tent feel quite fitting.
