48 km, 2h26, 227hm
I prepared my bike touring kit for quite some time, but it was time for a test ride also
I packed the front as full as I could
Same thing in the back, note that rack with panniers will come later
I planned for a 50K trip
First impressions where good, it was a bit heavy but when I was riding; it was manageable
I realized I visited this exact same location the same day one year ago. What a coincidence
Touring bike set up, yeah!ok
Heavily loaded front, maybe a bit too heavy...
I already felt on the world journey
20 km done with this set up
Honestly speaking the 28mm tires were not wide enough to provide comfort with this weight: It should be wider:
Carrying the bike was also very heavy and difficult
Keeping momentum high
GPS sent me through a little alley I had never visited before: Nice!
Winds were very strong and this was delaying me
Then it became offroad...
There was a dog here, first I thought it was a big fox
I met a couple and we started chatting: I told them I was on a big world journey: Their eyes almost popped out. They gave me a fortune clover.
A very funny encounter indeed
Sexy bike like this
Still 20km until home: The weight was noticeable
Back into Prague
To well known areas
A sign welcoming cyclists
Cycling trail 14 that leads all the way to Liberec
Wind was very fierce today; last few weeks actually
Nice weather
In the Lesopark Letnany, almost home
Some adjustments need to be made, but it is manageable
Back home in Cakovice the weather got worse: It would rain eventually
