So, we are ready We are packing as fast as we can
because the Landlord needs his key
and we wanted to start at 8 or so
and now it is 10 Michael and I, we always need
a little longer with all the bags
so it was nice let's close it up
Done!
Here we go!
Good Morning!
Day 3 of our trip We actually arrived yesterday
- it was dark but ok - here at this beautiful place
a hostel just at the lake and yes it was exhausting
but we continue, where are we going today, Michi?
Today we do 94 km to Jindrichuv Hradec Yes,and there will be a Jacuzzi waiting for us
at the wellness palace
Yes, you must also have a good time on such trips, that's part of it
it was really hard yesterday with the headwind and the mountains
and today the weather will apparently be nice
maybe a bit of rain
but maybe we'll escape the rain We will report!
Jo, we wish us a good trip All are awake
And are doing a bit of stretching in the morning. Great!
We are leaving our super nice sleeping place
directly at the lake Everyone wants to finally start cycling, it has gotten late
Hmm what shall we do now
Roadblock! Must we look for a new route
There's a trail up there
That's going to be the one we came down [yesterday]
No, if we want to take that one, we have to go up the lake
But there is also a direct one, just up the hill
straight up here, it's very uphill but way shorter
A typical situation And I just say: Ladies first!
What happened there, Michi?
Well, the dam is being rebuilt And we can't cross it
So you can either take the long way round
or climb up the hill In our case: climb
Hau Ruck!
It's really steep Perhaps it looks not as steep, but ...
I think it looks steep enough ... it is so that we can barely get
our luggage and the bike up there Sanja is also sliping
Push!
You would need a good grip on the shoes
and in our sneakers you slip a lot on the ground
From up here it looks like this
Yes, we were once again very optimistic in the morning
that we'll arrive on time in our Spa Hotel
As always, we will report when we arrive
It happened - the first tire puncture
And who got it? - I've got it!
Yes, this is part of it, a bit of bike repair on the road
Woah this is a nice pump
What we do now: we look where the hole is coming from
so we pump it up again
and do we hear it hiss already? not really
If you just put the new tire in directly
it's possible you'll get the same hole again
if you don't eliminate the cause first
Double chamber pumps are great
they pump air into the tube both ways which saves a bit of time
You can also purchase them from United in Cycling
come by: Sonnenallee 35 [Vienna] Patrick [the mechanic] is on site
Done! Half an hour later We haven't got very far yet - on we go
Wow, super, super nice
we've just been rolling downhill and now we have to go up again
up the next mountain and the sad thing about is that
we are actually still in the town we slept in, Vranov nad Dyji
but because of the construction site, we had to take a detour
through the woods
then I had a flat tire and now about 2 hours have passed
since our launch and we still have our 85km to go
and the sun is no longer shining
and it looks like rain
Lunch Break! Is it really Lunch Break?
Snack Break!
Short weather update:
We actually were quite lucky so far These last 2-3 hours we were cycling
under a gray blanket of clouds and only now it starts to rain a little bit
We don't have far to the lunch stop in Slavonice
but I'm going to put on a raincoat now
All are changing into rain gear except Michi
who likes the rain so much
I put on my rain gear already in the morning
Oh look: rain gear - Michi's rain gear
Look: even long [pants] Normally he only puts on long pants in the winter
Hey, the sun is back Half an hour later, all is well again
How are you?
Super - Slavonice!
It's great to be back
because about 6 weeks ago
We had a club ride along the Thaya Cycle Route
and part of is was on the same route about the last 15 km
and now we are getting to Slavonice
and we'll perhaps eat fried cheese
that you can get everywhere in the Czech Republic
So now we have a super healthy meal behind us
deep fried onion rings, deep fried cauliflower and deep fried meat
after that ice cream pancakes, beer and espresso
My belly is bigger than usual - it's hampering my cycling
oh oh, now I have to hurry!
Rainbow!
double rainbows!
Wind, everything still before our goal
but it has become a super nice day and the best is always
when the route is varied a lot
and there are hills, or even mountains, forests
when you have a bit of everything, it's always best
let's drink something
Oops ...
Mmm, Michi put some kind of pill into my water
Magnesium, calcium, vitamin C Almost as good as coffee
you can never drink enough
In the evening maybe a beer, but during the day mostly water
Seems like we got lost again
A little bit back, but it's no problem because it's nice here
Yes, wonderful!
I can hardly film enough at the moment
it is just so beautiful ... so beauuuuuuutiful
We are at the highest point for today
710 meters [of altitude]
We are so cool!
And now we are going back to 470 meters
Nice!
So I'm put the clothes on, because it's going to get pretty cold
This was not bad at all, it didn't feel like it was so high
Because it is so nice!
How many km left?
21.7 km
Let's do it in 1 hour! Half an hour?
An evening update from our side Shortly before 8, we are still on the road
But it was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day
Now is the last downhill before we arrive at the hotel
Where hopefully an open Spa awaits us
All are dressing warmly
because in the evening it gets really fresh
What's your guess how cold it is? Estimate, don't look at the smartphone!
17-18 ° C?
This is insanity, it has about 12 ° C It is positively freezing
and when going downhill you have to wrap up well,
otherwise you'll freeze
especially if you were sweating when cycling uphill
The girls have already dressed up But the Aka can't get her jacket to close
it happens - the best equipment, but then you're jacket wont close
Let's have a closer look
Is this the jacket workshop?
Yes! Thank you very much!
Teamwork!
"8km to go" just got the news from up front
Yes, it has become dark
But I'll tell you - even that can be adventurous, can be a beautiful experience
Fortunately, we have at least
2 of 5 bikes with really good lights Hub dynamo and about 100 lux
That means we are quite safe on the road The first and last person have a strong light
That's important!
if some of your group have weaker lights
you take them in the middle and stay in compact formation together
and then the cars can see us quite well
Today we've been on the road for a long time we had to take a few detours
needed to replan spontaneously with some excursion into the forest
some of them extremely steep
or parts where you can't cycle so fast because of gravel or stones
but in the end everything is great we have enough provisions with us
Snacks and bars and apples and all kinds of stuff so we could drive through the whole night
but as I said, we should be at our destination in about 15-20 minutes
Arrived!
So that's what you look like after the Jacuzzi
