I do the same tour I tried last year: Charlotte, Button and I cycle the NaturlandetRundt in Denmark. You can read all about my trip so far here: day0, day1, day2, day3, day4, day5, day6, day7, day8

Today I battled some more winds and had to take an alternate route. I also finished my tour around Lolland with 231.2 km total, some of those km will be when I had to leave the route to get to a campground, but mostly it is the circle around the island.

This morning I was really warm, because my tent placings worked for one and I got the full morning sun on my tent. With packing up and laundry we started at 10:40 am. And battled the wind from the first minute. Luckily I remembered a lot of the route from last year until I saw the bus-station and took a break there:

10.7km in 1 h, which makes my average speed… you guessed it … 10.7km/h. In this hour I burned 286kcal with an average heart rate of 116bpm.

After that it was difficult to find another resting place, I once again helped other bicyclists with directions and then sat down at the same place as a year ago:

23km in 2:03h, average speed 11.2km/h, 297 kcal in the last part while average heart rate of 117pm.

Well next I had a problem, I was thinking about this since yesterday to be exact: if I was continuing the tour as intended I would have to cycle additional 30km to reach the next campground. So I decided to take an alternate route up the Guldborg Sund between the two islands and camp again at the same place as on day1.

This time I have the space to myself, unless there will be some late night guests. So I did not cross over to Nykøbing yet, but will cross over at Guldborg. This way I am doing part of Lolland twice and missing about the same part of Falster, but I did not have to do a very long day against head winds. If the wind were blowing in the opposite direction who knows… maybe I would have made it.
