well, i did make it out this morning, and what a great ride. i can't believe somewhere so close to the city can be so immensely remote. the weather was sunny and quite windy, so much so, that i had a tremendous head wind on the return, slowing me down in a big way. the main difference i noticed between here and scandanavia is the trashy detritus of the roadsides here. i stopped off for a coke at the only place around in cele, a little store/bar/restaurant/whatever, apparently featured in the the texas chainsaw massacre remake. it was dark and the door in looked more like you weren't allowed to open it. the wind was blowing through the building so much that the cloth blinds on the windows were moving, with the windows shut. the air smelled the clean sweet and sour of cow manure and fresh air, and i thought about denmark.
