Description:

The biker gets a pass-on from the climber and gets out from the Start and Finish area, riding along the river, to the bridge. He/she crosses the bridge and goes on along the river, using a path going to Karlštejn. After arriving at a train station the biker turns right across the railway track and goes uphill (old road) to Korno, goes through Korno and turns right onto a field path after passing through the village. Using the path, the biker gets as far as Měňany where he/she gets onto a tarmac road. After an uphill stretch and a short downhill stretch the biker gets to Tobolka where he/she turns right at the junction and leaves that road after riding about 1.5 km - he/she turns left onto a field path. Then he/she goes downhill (field paths) as far as Srbsko where he/she crosses the bridge and goes for a turn in the Start and Finish area. The biker will pass two rounds. The second round is different. After downhill to Srbsko, don´t cross the bridge but he/she will continue straight around the river and he/she wade across the stream of river Berounka to the finish.
