207km, 8h08, 1968hm
As I set out on this 200 km this morning, I was very unsure about the weather. It might rain
The first section was exactly similar to a February ride to Chomotov
Ustecky region after 34 km.
42 km in the saddle, the weather was still grey and there was fierce wind
It had been more than two months since I was able to ride this bike, long story with the new crank. Anyway, it felt SO good to be on disc brakes again!
Very old pension, like a motel
Then there was a section of roads which reminded me of my first ride in Czechia ever!
Cute!
Not too much climbing meant smooth progress
50 km on my disc bike meant a small reporton FB
I remember this one from November 14th 2015. Berlin already indicated
This whole ride was very relaxing
With some deliciously steep sections
I did not really ride here, even though I could
Headwinds were strong and were slowing me down
As I went further north, I started seeing more hills
Then a rather long climb followed
It went up from 200 meters to 500 and it was a very steep part. I learned that this area is called Ceske Stredohori, mountains of the middle of Czech republic
As always beautiful views on the top
A long descent over crappy roads brought me to district Teplice. The bumpier a downhill section get, the more advantage you get from disc brakes.
This 30 km segment was full of new roads, I loved it
The nature park of Ceske Stredohori
gorgeous views
a beautiful moment lost in time
typical Czech roads
I was seeing a lot of new grounds today
Township of Becov
grey skies, I thought it would rain
Once again awesome bike
The moment I did more than 100 km
Astonishingly beautiful
I found a nice little bench where I sat down and relaxed for a lunch
Very cute area
Changing skies in Stredoceske hory
On my way back the headwind turned into tailwind and all of the sudden I was flying
At certain sections I was cruising at 68 kmph, truly awesome!
Slowly I began heading home
Another spot I visited in February; when it was snow white
After a 100 miles (160km), I found myself at this spot
Under falling leafs
The remainder of the ride sent me through Melnik and Neratovice
The Elbe river
And back in Prague after 207 km
At least 200+ km done!
