Tuesday morning was glorious giving an opportunity to air tents and sleeping bags. Despite the nice morning the washing on the line didn't dry very well. . ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 IDP7265095 |

Tuesday's rides were out to Middlefart. As the route to Middlefart and back was a bit far, we, along with some others took a train assisted ride. We got the 9:45 train from Tommerup to Federicia. We and Davies family went all the way. An American couple went as far as Middlefart, and Bella to the next stop at Aarup. We had 3 tandems and 3 half bikes on the train, and still plenty of room for more. ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 ID P7265099 |

The type of train we used above is seen at Odense. As they were so tandem friendly many people made use of these trains during the rally as assistance to cover more ground. ©Stephen Dee 29 July 2005 ID P7295386 |

Middlefart is on the north west corner of Fyn, and is separated from Jylland by the Lillebælt. Until 1935, the only crossing was by train ferry. The bridge crossing opened as a road rail bridge and we wanted to make the crossing from Jylland by the bridge, as we had arrived on Fyn by ferry, also wanted to cycle on to Fyn by bridge from the mainland. ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 ID P7265122 |

Ceri-Siân wanted a photo of me by the Middlefart sign, I can not think why. ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 ID P7265126

From Middlefart we rode around the north coast of Fyn and had lunch at Røjle Klint. For years I have had a reputation for drumming up whenever and wherever I stopped. This year I took this to new extremes for lunch time brew ups. Not just brewing tea, hot chocolate or soup, but cooking omelette as well! Here the Davies family and Ceri-Siân are tucking into freshly cooked omelette. ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 ID P7265138 |

We followed the coast as far as Båring Mark before heading inland back to Tommerup. The last 5 miles we followed the main road from Vissenejerg to Tommerup. As you entered the village of Skalbjerg, there were "Din Fart" speed indicators. These are fairly common throughout Danmark. Some, not all, registered cyclist speeds. Here Hywel and Jackie Davies clock 36Km/hour. ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 ID P7265149

The younger elements and certain adults were more interested in the ride along part of the old railway that connected the brickworks with the clay pits. The gauge of the railway is 60cm. ©Stephen Dee 26 July 2005 ID P7265192 |
