Where to cycle around Pilsen: Šidlovák and Kamenný rybník

This year I decided to move from the road to "Hardtail". The round I've "inherited" is Focus Whistler 29R 2.0. Totally decent bike designed for light, medium, occasionally moderate terrain. However, I still recognize his possibilities and limits. And so it was today on a trip around the Stone Pond and Šidlovák.

For the first year this tip I chose the ponds, which are about 1,2 km apart and are located in the part Plzeň - Bolevec close to the final tram No. 1.

Šidlovský Pond (Šidlovák)

My first stop was the pond Šidlovák. Due to the period (9.02.), Water could be expected to be thawed. However, it does not matter for a bike trip. The ride was fine. On the other side of Sidlovka there is a pub where you can refresh yourself with beer, coffee or hot chocolate. There is also something to find for the food. For children there is a sand pit and a slide.

On the right side is a natural "Fitpark". If you ride a bike, don't even think. However, for pedestrians it is ideal "fun". Šidlovák is good for swimming, but definitely not in February !! That is, if you do not belong to the hardy .. . The rest of us have to wait at least three months.

Stone pond

I slowly move to the Stone Pond. This pond is a good starting point for: hiking and cycling. On the information boards it is nicely arranged.

Here, both families and children can enjoy cycling. For fitness driving, it's like it's made. And that brings me to what was my goal. And ... take down your fitness tracks and get a little crazy. Unfortunately, with the 29 / 2.2 shells, it was beyond my capabilities that I understood when I reached the Stone Pond. So my bumpy plans in the middle of the ponds ended in .... (see photo)

Video tells more .. . . This terrain was not so good at the beginning of February.

The view from the other side was the eno-yun. During warmer months, you can swim or roast some sausages. The fireplace is at every step.

It was a pity that I did not get at least on the conditional rides on the marked trails. This week is about to warm up again, so I'll be back at the weekend. Hold your thumbs ..
