XTERRA Czech build up
June 26th, 2008 by Conrad Stoltz
I love Czech! This country is beautiful- the countryside, the castles, the people. Here is the main street in Hluboka nad Vltavou- venue of XTERRA Czech. Great coffee and Apfel Strudel to be had under those blue umbrellas. English, Afrikaans and French doesnt get you far here, but most Czechs speak some German, so I’ve been using my own German/Afrikaans to deadly effect!
The Xterra Czech course is mostly on private property ( a game reserve) so most of it cant be seen, but Amber and I rode some of the open parts to comical effect. Deep forest and afternoon thunderstorm makes for muddy riding…
I lost it and bought a farm in the picture above. (not sitting down for a picnic) And the mud went into some funny places…
Yes, SRAM X.O shifters work great, even when covered with mud and vegetation
We got horribly lost and bumped into 2 Hungarians who also got lost. (If you bump into 2 Hungarians, there is a 100% probability that at least one of them will be called “Gabor”) Eventually we hit a road and asked for the way home. Couldnt resist composing this shot with the local mowing his lawn in a speedo and flip flops

Come on Stoltz…you are just wishing that was you mowing the lawn in the Speedo. Maybe that dodgy green one of yours that chases everyone out the pool…the travels seem awesome, all the best for the next 2 weeks!!!
