Short, Gentle Bike Ride

A Protected content ride on trails, forest paths and little bits of road. Mostly car-free.

Meet at my place behind Strahov monastery. If you're carrying excess kit, feel free to leave it in my studio.
Push bikes up a rocky, tree-lined canyon (Chodecká) to the east end of Ladronka park.
Cycle all the way down the park (on the special tarmac cycle path) and under the main road to Hvězda walled hunting forest. Go through the forest. It's trail, with the odd root. An MTB is comfy but not strictly necessary: for this ride, I use my cross bike. Unsuitable for bikes with skinny tyres or small wheels. Not suitable for e-"bikes".
Emerge in Liboc. Look at the cows. Say "Moo!" Then about 500m of road, crossing pretty Evropská, and we're in Šárka. It's a tarmac path. You're welcome to win a polka dot jersey but I get off and push up the steepest hills.
End up at Veleslavin. Through the village, emerging at the military hospital, then back to my place through leafy Střešovice, again, on a mostly car-free path.
Food afterwards in my studio for those who fancy a social.
