Cycle Tour notes
Our first recent unsupported cycle tour started in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic and followed EuroVelo 7 along the rivers Vltava and Elbe to Dresden. After Dresden eventually left the Elbe and went cross country to Colditz Castle, the famous PoW camp. We stayed there the night and did a tour the next day which was rather special. We finished our tour in Leipzig before flying home.
We flew Ryanair to Prague from London Stansted checking in our bicycles as sports equipment. At Prague Airport we reassembled our bicycles and rode in to the city. We stayed at a budget hotel in the centre of Prague pre-booked on Booking.com.
Riders: Neil Rigby, Crispin Sinclair and Arnold Nisbet
Distance: 234 miles with 5 cycling days
