There are 1200 km from Copenhagen to Prague, so it is obvious that we would have to prepare ourselves physically for such adventure, mentally we already were prepared. We calculated that we could do the trip in 20 days, riding 60 km per day.
So what have we done so far for the planning and training?
Actually not much, giving the fact that is already May and the trip starts in June, take a look at all the things we have done so far...Well, let’s see:
In December we joined Pilates. We have been there about 6 times. Not much. We shot a video to do it on our own while we were away. Yeah right.
In February, for my 39 birthday, Boris bought us both 2 fantastic bicycles. For those of you who know my dear Boris, you will not be mistaken to think that these were probably the most expensive bikes in the market. The bikes are called KOGA, hand made and custom made just for us, by a Japanese fellow who lives in Holland.
In March we ordered bicycle maps from with different routes from Denmark, Germany and Czech Republic. I looked at them and realized all the work we have ahead…
It was only in April when the bicycles arrived each one with our inscriptions: Vika 2010 and Bo 2010. So we tried the bicycles for the first time with the kids (Tamara and Jacobo) for a day trip. We managed to do 63 km from Mairena to Carmona and back around Gandul and Alcalá. The bicycles were amazing but even so, I was not prepared for such a deal. Tamara and Jacobo were always ahead and I was always the last one. My back hurt, by knee hurt, my pants were stuck to my legs from the sweat and made it more difficult to pedal….at last I was so frustrated and tired I walked the last 2 km back home.
It is May and I still haven’t planned the damn trip yet so, I will finish this entry to the blog and start doing immediately after. Let’s see if it is true.
