205 km, 9h11, elevation 3050 m. Trip rating 85%
發威300多公里總升4000多米的騎乘還沒有好好消化，就得立刻面對新的長途。今天有205公里，總升3000多米的丘陵路線。早上離開了Znojmo的時候已經白天了。可以仔白天觀賞這停留在中期時代的城市很不錯。這些建築物的風格跟之前在台灣熟悉的形成了強烈的對比。在這方面我認為來到捷克並不是一件難過的事情，是種幸福，可以讓自己的單車生活更加豐富。不是每個人能有這種機會。
回程其實是重複前一天的路途。沒關係，這些風景很漂亮，而且可以在早上看到昨天下午看到的田野，感覺也不一樣。進度沒有辦法跟昨天一樣因為多了逆風。而且騎了50公里之後我開始感到疲憊。衝300多公里的丘陵之後應該休息，不應該騎回家。可是畢竟我是霸特，總得來個兩百才算有騎車。我拿著導航，規劃往Benesov的路。若干騎成強化了本人的捷克地理知識，對整個捷克的主要城市已經非常了解。 Benesov是可以答火車的地方，從那邊往布拉格的路也常常騎。可以剛好在黑暗前抵達。就這麼說定了！
中午過後天氣有好轉，太陽也出來了。今天是最後一個冬季騎成，可是春天看似已經出來了。曾經寒冷灰色的田野今天下午變得猶如童話：蔚藍的天空，燦爛的太陽，深綠色的草地。這些條件令本人陶醉，感覺自己在一幅畫裡面，而完全沒有要出來的動力。
當我破百發生了另外一件好酷的事情：車子的總公里數達到一萬八千公里。好可怕的數字，兩萬真的越來越近。雖然原本的車架在一萬公里後裂開了，得到了新車架，但SW Roubaix就是騎了１８０００公里。由此可見本人的運動量究竟有多認真！整個下午童話在我眼前上演了，經過了許多小村莊，城市，森林，偏僻野外等捷克典型風景。最後六十公里導航帶我走新的路線。
２０５公里之後，在黑暗前本人抵達了火車站，買了１４０元的車票，然後坐了一個小時的車回到布拉格。最後還得從布拉格失去到我住的地方，１７公里。這就是目前在捷克最瘋狂的一個週末：騎了２２個小時，５２１公里，爬坡７５００米。這需要兩三天才可以完全恢復！
I woke up a little later and I still felt weary from yesterday's crazy 300 km. Unfortunately my hostel did not have breakfast, but I did prepare a salad. I ate it and I hit the road. I had decided to navigate to Benesov, which according to my GPS was 136km. I felt that this distance could not be correct.

cobbles in the city center of Znojmo
Pension Kaplanka
I took it easy, because I had already decided to not go for 300 km. I did not even have to cycle back to Prague.
Leaving Znojmo, this section was the same as yesterday
A John Deere tractor working the lands
Grey skies and chilly temperatures were guiding me, so was this headwind you can only feel, not see
Still had a lot of distance to cover here
I passed the little town of Vratin nad Dyle again, alongside this river.
It was tranquil when I passed, but clearly this would be different in the highdays of the summer
A snapshot after two hours of pedaling
This descent brought me down to elevation 350km and it stayed that way for quite some time.
Nice views on an early Sunday morning
These twists and turns within the mountain always remind me of Taiwan.
Bartman staying focused
A Potraviny caught my attention, because it was open in such a small place at this hour. Needless to point out that I bought some foods and drinks here.
There was a lot of head wind and combined with yesterday's crazy ride, that was quite tiring.
I needed a break and I made a video report while I was at it.
The vast emptiness, the area where winds can soar as they please
The Jihomoravska region ended after a good 50 km. I entered Southern Bohemia.
Shades of sunlight popped up from the skies here.
They never lasted long, but they did provide some awesome views.
I tried to capture a few of these moments. It felt like Spring already made its way to the Czech hinterland
Some nice weather will make the same ride a lot more enjoyable.
At this point I already collected 1000 meters of elevation, in 70 km. Which is a lot...
My precious bike and the Czech country side. Today, my road bike surpassed the 18 km mark. It will be very soon that I go over the legendary 20,000 km.
At times I felt like I was in a fairy tale
I was happy to learn that the weather would be great for the second part of the ride.
One minor setback on my trip: when I stopped at a gas station for drinks, I checked the map and realized that I was navigating towards to wrong Benesov. The one I was heading for was 70km further north. So instead of 136 I had 205 km to go. Considering these head winds and hills, that would be a tiring ride. It would bring my weekend total well over 520 km. Insane!
Mysterious forest areas
Next region: Vysocina! Slowly I was approaching my destination of the day.
Castle by river, could be a painting!
Some interesting gradients. even though I do not have disc brakes, this was well manageable.
Eye-caressing, all of this looks very promising for the Spring and Summer
Most of the ride was the same as yesterday, but it does not matter. I love the feeling being outside, having my eyes rest after a week in the office, breathing some fresh hour, working it in these hills.
50 km left to the real Benesov from here. It was almost 4 pm. I had calculated that I would be in time before the 18:19 train.
This segment showed me some new views.
All of the sudden I climbed back to elevation 650 m and I entered the Stredocesky region, Benesov was within reach now.
I felt really tired in the last section, even stopped for a break. When I made it to Benesov, I had once again collected 3000 m elevation. These are huge numbers this weekend.
The Benesov railway station, my ticket to Prague cost me 140 crowns.
Today's rider stats, if you add yesterday's to it, you will understand it has been a crazy weekend
My bike safely attached to the rack. The ride to Prague took about one hour. Then I was supposed to have a train to Cakovice, but there weren't any trains for the next two hours in that direction. So I cycled the last 15 km back home. See that activity here.

It was almost 20:30 when I arrived back hone. I had dinner, uploaded some pics and hit the sack. I was hammered from this weekend!
