you've got flat terrain, that's right but you have the wind. Don't underate the wind. Nothing is as annoying as riding in strong headwinds. The training effekt is nearly the same like riding up a mountain. One positiv effect is that makes you mentally strong. I'am talking from first hand.

I appreciate your quick response and I will definately take in your advice about seeking out the windy days.

How can you claim Denmark is flat when it is home to Himmelbjerg - "Heaven Mountains".  In fact it is the perfect training ground for the Wyoming winds - all those trees at a permanent 45 degree angle in Jutland :-)  Train hard and give it a go. If you want some winter practice my Danish wife would welcome you to her Bed and Breakfast in New Zealand (www.cats-pjamas.com).

It says it all when you name a 147 metre hill Heaven Mountain.... But I'll take in your advice about the wind. Thanks

Hi

I have a question concerning training. I live in Denmark, Europe and it is flat like ****!!!

Do you guys think it is even possible training for the massive hour-long climbs on the tour, when the highest point in Denmark is 170 metres...?

I have done several multiday tours and my fitness is pretty good and I have the option to take some multiday trips to the neighbouring countries Sweden and Norway, where there are some decent mountains.


Thanks
