Bryrup is beautifully situated at the bottom of Salten Ådal, so warming up can be recommended as it goes uphill out of town.
The route goes west through Velling Forest, where old beech stand close, but on the bike it might be altitude specifically noted.
Between Bryrup and Vrads vintage train runs during the summer, but as a participant in DGI Hærvejsløbet expect a hilly round with single track from Vrads Station.
The trip proceeds of Vrads Sande with grass and heather-covered rolling hills.
A slightly flatter terrain is in sight through both Hjøllund and Gludsted plantations.
Here the hall is open and there is food.
Engesvang Boldklub are the hosts, who also ensures that the bike can be washed and serviced.
From here you can ride fast, if you are up for it on the way to the plantations with long and sometimes straight dirt roads.
Hald Ege MTB ensure that sugar depots can be filled up, and has a single track ready as topping.
Maybe the single track run prior to taking calories inboard?
Continue through the plantation through a few villages on the way to the next challenge.
Beautiful view over Lake Hald and extra nice if the heather will flourish.
The landscape is dramatic - created by Arctic ice and meltwater during the last ice age.
So lift your eyes and think of that Viborg are just around the corner - just a little more heat and plantation must be traveled, so the town comes into view.
High five, pat on the back and welcome to Viborg.
Parade Square is the setting, and the whole Viborg celebrates.
If there is more energy, stay tuned and party.
Maybe you just need a bath and do not forget to buy a buffet, so you should not starve in the cathedral city.
