Practicing with my dad and Jarda Kulhavý

My dad was here as well and I must say he gave us a hard time. He was probably the best out of us because he didn’t have any break after the season and he is still in the practice rhythm. Twice I rode with Jarda Kulhavý who is probably in better form than me now and this is why, he headed out for tougher climbs. 
 
I am no longer trying to get in the warm-weather kilometers but my focus is to develop my condition. I am one step ahead than I was in the previous years, so I ride in rolling terrain staying away from extremely hard climbs, for now. 
 
The weather is fine here, the temperature was about 20C during the first days. It got colder now but it fluctuates between 12 and 17 degrees, which is ideal for training. Almost every day I have spent between four to five hours on the bike and only alternated the terrains. I will be staying here until December 23 and then I am traveling back to the Czech Republic where I am  spending the Christmas holidays with my family in the Šumava mountains.
