Stumpy–packing
Beskydy, the mountains that form the eastern border of our country. They don’t have sharp, pointy peaks, but their hills are still steep and beautiful. We decided to ride them—north to south. About 100 km with 3,500 m of elevation gain awaited us. The tool for the job? The Specialized Stumpjumper.
a dentist appointment
Can I ride to my dentist appointment without using a car? This is a time line of a ride. At the end you'll find out how did it go.
the scenic way
V práci jsem to nějak přečkal. Celý den bylo těšení na cestu domů do SH. Už ráno v mé hlavě padlo rozhodnutí, že pojedu delší cestou, the scenic way...
84 hours somewhere in Austria
We came to this place with no plan. I just liked how it looked on the map when we were planning the trip. Sometimes not having a proper plan helps—you get to embrace the unknown and the adventure. This hike came about the night before.
a mountain bike
I had this bike for almost two year now! I can honestly say it has been the best mountain bike that I’ve ever had…
outside shows
blueberries are on!
It’s Friday and we’re trying to figure out what to do with the whole weekend. Rain is pretty much forecast for the entire day on Saturday. But my mind has its exploring shoes on, and I really don’t want to sit around at home doing stuff on the computer.
green & blue
It’s not always about the pictures or the story. This is hardly anything—just randomly recorded thoughts. This one is about the experience I tried to record… and if you you’re gonna spend some time here, you can be the judge of that record.
a journal entry
I wrote this to my journal today: After work we went for our classic stroll in the city, to get a coffee at Kikafe.
home and back
An idea we had—and executed before. No car to visit mom, just bikes and the bare essentials for a weekend. On Friday we cycled there, on Saturday we hiked, and on Sunday we rode back with a short-ish detour.
G—44
There is a less time we spend together riding bikes this year so far. So this is a simple memory of being out and about.
a friend & a bike
I really like this diptych. I won’t explain it, but I’m truly glad to have friends like Jakub.
Limitations
We went for a hike, for a change. Maybe it was just for the sole purpose of walking — doing something different from what we're used to. Changing things up, maybe slowing down, going a shorter distance and enjoying more of what's around us. Or going further — it doesn't really matter. Without a time limit. It could take 30 minutes, an hour, or a whole day. No plan.
G—37
A simple memory of being out and about on our bikes.
Just the necessary.
It’s Sunday, kinda warm, and we’re off for a hike. At first, neither of us thought there would be anything special about it. But after we crossed the altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, everything became special. That’s the rule.
Hills I call home
This weekend I spent with my mom, on a hike to a sparsely visited place. Some of you know where it is, some don’t. The weather was unpredictable—sun, rain, wind, kind of cold, and a few tiny patches of snow still left on the ground from the last cold days…
Crossroads
I call this one Crossroads because I’ve always kind of liked them. When you're out riding without a clear destination—mentally or physically—they give you that little nudge to make a decision.

visual diary, week 17/25
Last week’s visual diary. No particular reason or importance.
Out and About
I’ve probably written about this a thousand times—or at least it feels that way. These old, forgotten trails occupy my thoughts constantly when I’m out and about.
