Day 3 in Denmark

It was a hard day, for sure. 39 Km for me, but mostly over sand more than gravel.

We did make it to the hut.

And finally made it home.

I think after three days of riding, we are looking at a rest day tomorrow. Much needed.

Day 2 in Denmark

It’s still wet here 😀

But we still got a ride in. Definitely feeling the ache in my legs from yesterday. Actually did a longer ride than yesterday but easier. Or it would have been if not for the pain..

today’s ride starts

Rather wet

Apparently 51 mm rain yesterday. I’m sure we wore more than a few mm of that.

Today looks bleak – some warnings in the BOM website of flash flooding in the region. Most of the rain in the morning hopefully however so maybe another shorter ride in the afternoon will be possible.

Morning

First morning in the place. There is an ocean view, maybe more than glimpses even.

Unfortunately the BOM forecast is for possible storms all week. But we were expecting, and showers are going to be ok.

Besides which, there are worse places to be stuck in a storm.

Mac Mini

Just spent the weekend configuring my Mac mini that’s arrived – its a 2020 model (ie the 2018 model with the feature bump):

  • 1 TB SSD
  • 16 GB ram (I know I could have got 8GB and expanded up for less)
  • Core i7 with 6 cores/12 threads.

Its a nice little server, and not a bad desktop. So I’m ready for when/if my 2012 Mac mini server fails… Amazingly its going strong to this day.

But this is a nice desktop, with room to grow. Interestingly, I noticed that my 500 GB server is actually doing ok now that I’ve pruned the snapshots of the virtual machines. So I have enough space for a while yet despite the emails that are filling it up. Still, ready for when that time comes, which will no doubt be fairly soon.
