Eastern Europe: Prague to Tabor

This charming, historic small city is worth considering. Tabor is famous among Czechs as a fierce Protestant stronghold during the Hussite Wars.  Ringing the square are some modest museums, a towering church, and some al fresco restaurants.

Our plans worked well and we were on the road around 10:00.  In the morning we were in partially forested areas and there was a lot of uphill.  Two hills were particularly challenging and several walked their bikes. Today, like a few other days, we did not go through towns with cafes for lunch. So the guides provided a picnic; I think they’ll have to do this again tomorrow The afternoons ride was much more of an open landscape and we had quite a few fast downhills. Overall there was very little traffic and the roads were very good, very smooth.  Navigation was not a problem; our Garmin navigation systems were very beneficial.
