See Mr. Cains comments to his visit below:        

At the beautiful bridge, which connects the island of Mors to the mainland, we were joined by Mors city Council members Lauge Larsen and Martin Jorgensen who guided us through the stunningly beautiful island of Mors toward Nykøbing Mors.  Along the way we climbed to the highest point on the island, from where we could see the entire island and marvel at the beautiful patchwork of bright yellow fields where the Rapeseed is in full bloom. We soon stopped at Morsø Jernstøberi, the oldest and best known Danish stove producer. I was able to watch their assembly, which is still by hand to preserve quality, and see their newest, and as yet unreleased “glass front” stove, designed by our friend Monica Ritterband. Morsø Managing Director Peter Jessen-Hansen treated us to a healthy barbecue chicken lunch, with delicious potato salad, that I had to quickly eat in order to greet the crowd of new riders forming in the parking lot. We were joined by one of the most delightful combinations of “riders” we have yet had on the Tour. First, we had a dozen young people, around 14-15 years of age, from the Holms Skole.  The young people all were waving Danish flags. The girls were delightful with “greenery” woven into their hair, and the boys were eager and full of questions. (Interestingly, the boys all spoke very good English, while the girls all seemed to really struggle with it, even though they were the same age.)  The second group that joined us for this leg consisted of the “Pain and Agony” Club. This is a running Club in Mors that has decided to “adopt” the elderly and the infirm who do not have the “Power of legs”. Ten times each year these compassionate volunteers take 40 to 50 “guest riders” out in running strollers  to expose them to the outdoors and give them the exuberant experience of running in nature. Two such guests accompanied us this day, including a 94 year old lady who spoke absolutely no English, but who smiled and laughed for the entire trip. This example of “the Diplomacy of Deeds”, volunteers doing good for others in need, was particularly inspiring. Jens, the group organizer, came up with the idea several years ago and hopes to spread the effort throughout Denmark. (I think it would be really popular in America as well. Perhaps we can find a “sister organization” in America.)
