Prague to Kamyk: Cheating once again

We decided to leave Prague the romantic way, taking a boat along the river to avoid the traffic and at least one nasty hill.

But that was the end of our laziness. We started our day's ride in a place called Slapy, which was pretty high up and gave us a taste of the terrain along the river south of Prague. I was expecting some moderate hills, but many of them were more challenging than we thought. We spent the day yoyoing up and down from 200 to 500 metres, 12 climbs in all. Needless to say, Tina was not a happy girl.

Fortunately the weather was absolutely lovely: 23 degrees, sunshine and not much wind. It was also great fun storming down the descents at over 50 kmh. But somehow, that didn't brighten Tina's spirits.

We made it to Kamyk after a 50 km ride, which felt a lot longer. Our reward was a very nice family run inn on the river, where we enjoyed some nice food and beer (of course), together with a couple of other cyclists from Lake Constance (who put us to shame by doing the entire ride from Prague).

Running total: 487 km
