Tue 10/7

We leave the forest early in the morning and head for Jelenia Gora, ca 90km away. Today is about ‘the group thing’, trying to stick together and find a common rhythm to bike.

The first part of the route of the day is flat, comfortable, not too much traffic… very nice. After 35km we head for the mountains where the border lies between Poland and Czech. Jelenia Gora is only 20km away from the frontier. This will be our last full day in Poland..

We climbed 300m, the road was though, but everybody made it and a beautiful city awaits us.. We found a very nice place to stay in the centre and over a last Polish Tyskie beer we decided that Poland was worth visiting. The North is different from the South, that is more flat and picturesque, but everywhere we encountered kind people that we’re happy we were visiting their country.
