A traditional coffee ride, Saltholmen stylee

 

In offseason, it is traditional for sprinters to go on coffee rides to burn at least one or two calories, as they are on a heavy regiment of cake eating and gym. Being an honorary sprinter, I accompanied the real sprinter and our friend Sus on a noodling ride out to Saltholmen by the ocean. Saltholmen has many points of interest, such as a candy shack ("kiosk") that also sells thai food, and a nude beach. Very exotic. We headed to the cafe nestled in some trees. Incidentally, this is where we took Johan on the maiden voyage of his road bike a couple of years ago. Unfortunately he could not come on the days expedition due to a cruel working life, otherwise the deja vu would have been perfect.

 

Eating and drinking ensued, while we enjoyed the weather.

 

However, as we had come this close to the ocean, it was imperative to see some water. Around the corner is a marina/bath site. Refreshed with coffee, water and tofu icecrea cones we headed out.

 

Bike lock up! Although the sun makes it look warm, the water in september is really really cold. This did not dissuade some teenagers from jumping in the water, hollering wildly. I guess whatever floats your boat. We stayed warm, and enjoyed the flora and fauna instead.
