I guess you all have thought about the interesting coincidences in life when you are at the right spot and at the right time. Yesterday when I was waiting for Wej to check us in at the hotel was such an occasion.

The lady I mentioned I met outside the hotel yesterday is called Lucie. She came and picked us up in her orange Fiat at 8 PM and brought us to a pub in central Piotrkow where we met about 15 other cyclist. I thought it was the local race or MTB cycling team we would see, but it wasn’t. It was Piotrkowska Grupa Rowerowa which is a local group for touring cyclists, i.e. just the same kind of people like we are.

Having beer, pizza and interesting discussions.

The cycling group meet regularly at this pub and yesterday they invited us. We had many interesting discussions about our present trip, trips that they have done together and trips they plan to do. Everyone in the group engaged in helping us to plan our route for the coming days when we ride towards Krakow. After having some pizza, beer and a really good time togehter Lucie drove us home in her orange Fiat.

The critical mass movement is active here too

Lucie works as a receptionist at the hotel and was on her way home when we met her. If we had come 5 minutes later we would have missed her and also this night out with the cycling group. Sometimes it is necessary to be on the right spot at the right time – we will try to do that in the future to.

Time to say good bye to new friends
