Bike funs

This blog is starting to become just about biking, much like the rest of my life. I just got back from a two week vacation where I didn't bike at all though, so I guess there will be a few posts without mention of it. These are from the couple weeks before I left- I did a few long solo rides (record is at 110km/70mi so far!) and a bunch of rides with some friends.

Hay-o

I'm doing a really spectacular job of not having enough work which gives me a lot of time to go on long rides. Pete and I found an awesome route out of the city through some farms. Decided to hop off our bikes and jump on bales of hay.

Mushroom Picking at the Cottage

On Sunday, I had a very Czech day. I rode down (okay not so Czech) to Vojta's cottage and went mushroom picking with him and Andrea. We went through the forest with a thick reference book to make sure we weren't going to poison ourselves and hunted for edible mushrooms. After filling our basket, we got Vojta's neighbor to approve our mushrooms so we were really sure we wouldn't get sick. We grilled a couple of them that evening and took the rest back to Prague with us.

More from the bike

Being an English teacher in Prague means during the summer, work is incredibly slow. I've been trying to make the most of my free time by riding as much as possible. Lately, I've been choosing a direction and following it out of the city until I'm tired. These are from my last ride - I headed East and ended up in a town called Kolín.
