Natural landscapes in Denmark are so flat and our forests so small, that it's absolutely nothing to speak of compared to what most other countries have. I love Denmark, but the one thing I think we're really missing is awe inspiring nature. A Danish forest is nice for a little walk, sure. Our biggest few forests, you might even get lost in, but not to the extent of being in any sort of danger. Just keep walking in one direction and eventuall you will come upon a trail, road or a farm house in less than an hour. If you manage to die in the Danish wilds, you must be a ****ing idiot. Every time I've been on vacation in Norway, Sweden, Austria, Germany, France, the Czech Republic... I'm in awe of their landscapes. The Swedish and Norwegian hills have these high altitude plateaus with moss, orchids and clear water streams you can drink from. It's the most beautiful places I've ever seen on this earth. Denmark is comparatively boring to look at.

Did a bit of riding around this area after work yesterday. This has been one of the most legendary dirt bike exclusive trail systems in British Columbia, maybe across Canada, since the 1970s. Professional enduro riders from around the world fly out here often to explore them and host skill building clinics. It's free to explore as often and as long as you want but after about 10 minutes on the trails you're so amazed by the effort that went into building them that you feel compelled to donate to the organization that maintains them. I'll be riding here much more often now that the bridge tolls over the Fraser River have been eliminated, this place is only a 30 minute ride from where I work. Looking forward to purchasing a 2018 membership and getting involved in trail maintenance.

I basically got hazed by a group of dirt riders on Saturday.

Usually a couple of times a week I send out public invites to dirt riding groups on Facebook to join me on the trails, a couple of weeks ago I was joined by a paramedic, probably a year or 2 older than me. Last week he invited me and another new rider to join him and his riding crew on the Vedder Mountain trails, one of the most famous technical enduro riding areas in British Columbia, offering to show us around the easier trails so we can start getting familiar with the trail system. I show up, we gear up, and without any warning they proceeded to lead me on a grueling 4 hour ride through the intermediate level singletrack trail system, far above my current skill level, expecting me to give up and pack it in halfway through. It was probably the most physically challenging thing I've ever done in my life, I was so exhausted by the end of it that I could barely reach up to take my helmet off without wincing in pain. But it was still, without a doubt, the most fun I've ever had trail riding, and I'm glad they pushed me into doing it because I wouldn't have done it without having been tricked into it, and it gave me an opportunity to prove myself that I have reached that level in my riding. After the ride they were all laughing and said "Well, you passed initiation."

This video isn't from our ride, but it's the same trails:



I am incredibly sore, even 3 days later.
