For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

This "sauna" weather isn't the best for bikepacking, I had to take breaks pretty often. There is cherry season so you always find "reason" to stop for some "snack".

Nice, I also like to take trains sometimes over either boring parts of the trip (I prefer single tracks and forest roads) or just have a 1way day ride and train back. It's chill just sitting in train for a bit and enjoy a small break

After I saw my friend, who rode there on road bike about 100km, I knew it was good call to scratch the route.

I stopped at the pub for some radler and ice cream and when I stepped outside ice cream melted and I had warm radler. So yeah it was due to weather.

And I thought that linking map of brewerys in my country to my last post was unnecessary. If you will tour Czech Republic you will know where to go.
