So off we went on day 2 of our biking excursion. Left the hotel in Tabor by shuttle at 8:00 for a short van ride to our starting destination. This first picture is our day 2route set up by our guide Karen, complete with elevations. Once again, the route was tranquil and picturesque with lakes dotting the countryside. We rode with another couple, Bill and Sally , which made the journey much easier as 4 minds was better to stay on the right roads. Our morning ride took us 24 miles and we were feeling pretty good especially after another scrumptious traditional feast in the midieval village of Holaaovice which has been designated as a world heritage site because of its well preserved South BOhemian Folk Baroque style buildings.
So then we had to make a decision, take the shuttle to our final destination or continue to ride for another 16 miles to our final destination Cesky krumlov...... We all went for the additional 16 which ended up being a 1400' climb for the day. Getting to town was a welcome sight
After a hot shower we headed off for a beer tasting session with a local beer expert . We find out the Czechs drink more beer per person that any other place in the world.. 142 liters a year... But their drinking is very different.... You drink here as a social opportunity to relax with friends casually. I also believe the beer isn't as strong either.
Another dinner of fine Czech food and now....oh so tired!!!!! A shorterride tomorrow... And touring this lovely town.
