After 45 days, back on my road bike

I was riding my mountain-bike for quite a long time so I was really eager to see what it would be like to ride the road bike again after such a long break. We did over four hours on the first day and the following day I was feeling all right. There was no aching in any part of my body probably because I had put in some kilometers on the mountain-bike before. In addition, I reassured myself that I had correctly adjusted my position on the bike last year. After having covered a few kilometers I knew that I was riding my bike and it is always good to know.  We started off the first team get-together in the Italian town of Montecatini Terme where we underwent the necessary medical tests, tried on some new clothing gear and discussed some issues. During those first days we were rather dealing with the business matters off the bike, I only went to the gym several times.Then we traveled to Spain where we are now enjoying the ideal training conditions. The temperature is hovering between 18 and 22 degrees. Unlike the previous years, I spend much more time on my bike at this point of the year, sometimes even four hours, usually as a member of  one of the two or three training groups.Apart from riding a bike, we are going to take some promo pictures tomorrow. We are staying in Calpe until Saturday and then I´m coming back to the Czech Republic for a while. After that, on December 14 I am flying on Majorca where I should join a really great training crew: Jaroslav Kulhavy, Jakub Novak and a new Astana asset Guarnieri. My dad will be there as well so I hope I will do a good job on the bike. And last but least, a piece of news that you will be surely interested in: I will announce my race schedule for next season at the end of this week.
