Here
we
go
again!
It's hard
to
believe
it was
exactly
2 years ago...
Al and I
started
our bike ride
across
America!
And
now,
2 years later,
I'm starting
a bike ride
with
TJ...
in
the
Czech
Republic!
Oh!
and
don't
forget
Ralph!
Today
we
say
good-bye
to
Prague...
and
hello
to
our new
bike
leaders...
Bodhi...
and
Jiri.
Luckily
they
come....
bearing
snacks!
They
tell
us
what
to
expect....
They
run
a
tight
ship!
And
then
we
sign
our lives
away.
Now
back
in
the
bus....
for
the
long
ride
to...
Cesky
Krumlov!
Beautiful
town!
We
can't stop
taking
photos!
Luckily
VBT
gets us
a
local
guide...
He
is
fascinating!
And
not
just
about
the
architecture!
In
that
young
man's
lifetime...
We
have
gone
from
the misery
of
Communism...
to
prosperity!
This
history
is
more
fascinating
to
me....
than
all
the old
Gothic
stuff.
But,
hey,
enough
of
this
education
stuff....
It's
time
to
bike!
But
first
we
need
that
introductory
stuff...
Toes
tapping
impatiently...
Hurry up!
My
helmet
is
waiting!
They
make
fun
of
my
skinny
saddle...
But
finally...
We're
on
bike!
Let's
go,
TJ!
Trying
out
new
pedals...
New
grips...
Even
Ralph
is having
fun!
We
check
out
the
bike
paths....
sharing
them
with
the locals...
making
room
for
new
bikers...
Nice
scenery....
Sometimes
lost...
Where
are
we?
Let's
try
this
way!
This
looks
good!
We
made
it!
Now
it's
time
to
relax...
Have
a
nice
dinner...
and
sleep...
in
Cesky
Krumlov.
