In preparation for the start in L'Etape by Tour de France, we went to a training camp in the Czech Republic, where we got to know “principles of safe movement in the package and how to benefit from it”.
mountains, weather and cycling team at the Sobotín Resort at Šumperk, it had to work! The chief of the confusion was Přemek together with Dan – driver of a technical car, Ondřej was the leader of our cycling peloton “Lampik” Paur.
Było wesoło, we did not understand everything, but we could always count on a translation by Přemek.
We rode the Jesenicky velehoras with endless ascents and descents, and you can also get tired of the descent!. We left the monuments such as Praděd and Dlouhé Stráně for another visit. I will not be a mountaineer but I am proud, that I entered Bělá pod Pradědem from both sides!. Lampík taught us how to ride in the peloton and gave us valuable comments, sometimes he even pushed me away from the legal circle 30 cm that the ride was free. After studying at the training camp, I stay with my own “solo”, because to ride in the peloton you need to have your own well-coordinated team. Mine stayed in the Czech Republic.
The show was as tight as panties – driving, lectures, exercises, but we managed to take advantage of the benefits of the hotel: the pool, spa and sauna.
It surprised us the most, but also pleased us “hotel” beer in unlimited quantities until dinner.
We must come back to Šumperk, because it is a great base for trips to the beautiful Opawskie Mountains and Jesenik.
