The “Tour” has actually begun. First show: Lund, Sweden.
There are about 18 shows in all and this is where it all begins. We had to make an hour’s drive to Lund from Copenhagen, Denmark. I like having the opportunity to ride around in new places because it always helps me to get more acquainted with the land and helps maps make more sense to me. I never knew much about Europe but it appears that all of the countries in the EU are “islands” connected by bridges and tunnels.
Imagine driving over a 12 mile bridge in -1 degree Celsius temperature, high above what seems to be a large semi-frozen lake. Kinda made me a little nervous…
Lund appears to be somewhat of a quiet town. There are cobblestone streets mixed in with regular asphalt streets. I used to hate walking on cobblestone, until I realized how it keeps me from busting my butt walking through snow and thin layers of ice!
I’m not sure how this actually works, but it appeared that bikers, pedestrians, cars and buses all shared the road. You would think that this would cause chaos all over the place, but everyone seemed to be respectful of each other and everything worked out. And now that I think about it, I don’t remember seeing any stop signs… I’ll have to check into that for sure.
…and try to say this three times fast:
I know I can’t!!!
The show was a cool show. You know how the first one’s are… you get to work out all the kinks that you didn’t know you had. The people seemed to have enjoyed themselves!!
