Travel to Tábor

Travel without adding stress or losing fuelling and hydration.

Arrive in time for a short pre-ride, with the legs recovering from Ostrava.

Added Oct 25: the day between the two World Cups.

Drive from Ostrava to Tábor, about 4 hours.
Pack GF/DF food and bottles. Confirm the pit, wheels, tire pressures and the race-day timeline tonight.

A proper breakfast before you leave, and stop once or twice to walk. The pre-ride is short: lines and openers only.

Learn the Tábor course and open the legs the day after Ostrava.

Know the lines, and arrive at Sunday's start fresh enough to race the last two laps.
