初次在2016年騎車算失敗。昨晚特地早點入睡，半夜起來卻看到冰天雪地的路面，因此公路車的計劃告一個段落。然後想要騎登山車，卻遇到結冰的路面，結果只騎了短途。到現在捷克辜負了我。
I went to bed early yesterday, as in before 8am. I woke up a little after twelve o clock because of heavy fireworks in my street. After that intermezzo I once again hit the sack until five am. When I woke up, I was ready to start the daily trip I had planned 200km as a round trip and I was feeling for a ride after several weeks without one. Unfortunately, when I looked outside of the window I saw the streets were white. It had snowed and the temperature was minus 2 degrees. I cancelled my road bike ride, but I decided I could do a 100km ride on my MTB. So I got myself ready and went outside.
With these Nimbus 45 tires, I can now use this bike as a substitute for middle range road trips.
Frozen roads and white rooftops, this is the Czech winter I am facing nowadays
According to the GPS, my entire round trip would be around 113km. I was sent in the same direction as my Tuesday night ride. The fields were all snow white
The trains were still riding
When I saw this bike trail, I decided to use the normal roads, which were find, albeit somewhat dirty
If I had a spare wheelset with snow tires I might consider an offroad trip today.
These two rocks combined with this white setting offered me a fantastic picture. It took me some time to have the bike standing but it worked.
Truly a cool picture, in all meanings of the word haha. I used this one as new back ground for my facebook group.
Then there was a long section with roads covered in snow and ice. This is where I realized that I should not continue this ride. It would be better to go back home and go running in the afternoon instead. I was somehow sent to a site where I came during my first ride. The road was cut off due to construction works. It was still that way two months later. I decided to go home there.
I took a few movie clips with my Rollei here and there. After all, for my Taiwanese friends this is highly exotic. Then I switched to picture mode, making one picture every minute
I felt like Snow White, but without the charming prince and matching shoe
Grey skies, white fields and slippery roads. What a first of January. It had been nice weather all week and the day that I could go cycling this happens. That is actually quite frustrating.
I don't think there is one person in the Czech Republic that longs for Spring more than I do. Two more months man, seven more weekends and we're there!
I did try to look out for some nice smaller paths, useful for later rides
This section was not slippery, just wet and dirty. Oh yeah and cold
Vast emptiness in front of me
I was sent back to one of the main roads leading to Prague
Good thing traffic was low on this day
Then I went home, with a ridiculous 30km and 90 min outside. This really sucks!
But luckily that was not all I did today. I decided I could go for a run, after all I had to do something nice on this first of January. So I went for a run at 14:41. I did a nice 20km in 1h48, was quite happy with that. Here is the Garmin activity link: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/999478304
