  • Circuit Rider comes full circle 5 years ago Stage 7, day 6 (Thursday, 6 July 2017)Cieszyn to Bohumín, 60 kmThe final day of my tour around the Czech frontier starts like most of the others have done - eat as much breakfast as possible, pack the bags, load up the bike and pay the hotel bill - but with one notable difference.
