course the town of Horice in the Czech Republic hosts raw In 2011 a dozen riders from England and Ireland took part – and couldn’t quite believe their eyes running on pure fear,” says Irish rider Mark Kelly with a laugh after his first taste of the Horice road-racing circuit in the Czech Republic “There definitely isn’t the pressure you get from racing at home but I had no idea from the onboard clips I’d watched on YouTube just how dramatic this place was going to be.” who grabbed the last spot on the 250cc podium this year the course conditions at Horice were a real eye-opener Without a Recticel safety barrier in sight to protect against walls and lampposts and some of the corners lined only by the type of catch netting you find at downhill ski races in many ways going to Horice is like stepping back in time to an Irish road race of the 1970s and 80s Perhaps the most obvious sign of the more relaxed attitude to safety is the way spectators can sit at their front doorways in the town enjoying a beer as the bikes pass within a few of feet of their noses that is attracting a growing band of riders from the Irish road-racing scene to visit this long-standing but little-known race the Czech race has become a more traditional alternative to the hype razzmatazz and increasing exclusivity of the North West 200 – also run in May Kelly was one of a dozen riders from Ireland and England who attended the 75th running of the 300 Zatacek Gustav Havel races at Horice run on the 3.2-mile course that winds its way through the streets of the small town before heading into the forests in the hills above Imagine Donington Park’s Craner Curves followed by the Isle of Man’s Bray Hill and you have some idea of the opening section’s terrifying plunge between the houses This breathtaking beginning is followed by a quick blast past the sandstone houses pubs and shops of the town square before a couple of uphill swoops takes you into the forest The occasional bale tied to a few of the hundreds of trees that line the sweeping bends is the only buffer between the racers and the timber The ‘300 Zatacek’ in the event’s name translates as ‘300 Curves’ and in the 1960s the twisty circuit became a favourite of Jawa works rider Gustav Havel Although it has always attracted top European riders over the years British racers have rarely ventured to the Czech venue The likes of Phil Reed and Barry Sheene – who would race at better-known circuits such as Chimay in Belgium – always stayed away But in 2011 Kelly was joined by Michael Pearson Chris Barton and 2010’s top TT privateer James McBride All made the pilgrimage eastwards to take on the locals in what is now a round of the European Road Race championship “Horice is a bit like Macau,” said Pearson who won the 600 race here in 2010 and was runner-up in the Superbike event but you have to put that out of your head and commit to the corners On the superbike (a BMW S1000RR) you go through the town square flat out in third gear at about 130-140mph.” Davy Morgan was more concerned by the primitiveness of some of the safety features “The track preparation was nowhere near as good as it would be at home and some of the things that could be removed were not It was a lot more dangerous than home,” he said Horice is a two-hour drive north east from Prague and provides a fascinating setting for a road race A carnival atmosphere descends as thousands of people crowd into the little town – an unremarkable jumble of old-style Czech buildings and Communist-era concrete tower blocks The paddock is set amongst holiday chalets on the edge of town and local opportunists erect makeshift bars and stalls in their gardens selling beer and sausages The Irish contingent were highly amused to find that the local energy drink is called Semtex – the IRA’s explosive of choice during the Troubles The antics of often well-oiled spectators was also an eye-opener for visiting riders The bar at the U Vodojemu hairpin in Horice is open 24 hours a day during the event and on the slowing-down lap of each race the fans invade the track fans blowing vuvuzelas and thrusting pints of beer into the hands of the riders many of whom get into the spirit of things and perform burnouts in return the dangers of the venue were writ large in Sunday’s 600cc race when local rider Robin Borke tangled with another bike and crashed into trees at Na Losance – with fatal consequences That dreadful incident brought the 2011 meeting to a premature and sad end Despite this all too obvious demonstration of the risks riders like Michael Pearson have vowed to return to Horice next year Pearson was leading the 600 race by five seconds on a borrowed 675cc Triumph when the red flags came out He had already broken the outright lap record in practice on his BMW superbike raising it to 84mph and setting up a bitter battle with local favourite Jiri Drazdak Drazdak has been a regular competitor in WSB and has won the feature race at Horice for the last three seasons but Pearson was fazed neither by the company nor the manifest dangers “When we came here last year we were greeted with open arms by everyone Then we beat the locals and that changed things a bit this year,” he said “But that has only made me more determined and I will be back next year to win.” Kino Pivo is crafted by Hořice brewery JungBerg and

According to Statistics Canada's 2016 census data there are only 45 people over the age of 100 in Kelowna Kafkadesk Slovak highwayman and “Robin Hood” robber Juraj Jánošík was executed at the age of 25 soon to become a key figure and national hero in Central European folklore Born in 1688 in the north-western village of Terchová then part of the Kingdom of Hungary and located in modern-day Slovakia young Jánošík joined the Kuruc insurgents and the rebellion led by Hungarian nobleman Francis II Rákóczi against the Habsburg monarchy – an eight-year-long war of independence eventually crushed by Imperial forces in 1708 at the battle of Trenčín Possibly enrolled by force in the Austrian army he worked as a prison guard and helped orchestrate the escape of inmate Tomáš Uhorčík the leader of a bank of robbers which 23-year-old Jánošík joined and soon led himself Mostly active in the north-western parts of modern-day Slovakia, as well as in Silesia and Moravia, Jánošík and his band of about 20 robbers became known for their peculiar civic-minded way of operating: targeting mostly rich merchants and never killing their victims they were said to divide the spoils between themselves and share part of the riches with poor peasants and villages Due to a lack of reliable historical records Juraj Jánošík’s built-up reputation as a heroic freedom fighter and “Slovak Robin Hood” – with fairytale books and folk stories portraying him with near superhuman strength and extraordinary physical abilities – remains subject to controversy among historians sometimes unable to determine where the man ends Briefly arrested and released in late 1712 he was again captured in early 1713 in Klenovec Imprisoned and tortured in the small Vranovo castle his trial was held in March 1713 in Liptovský Svätý Mikuláš Historical records do not show any confession despite the brutal torture he was subjected to either by hanging or after being left dangling for several days on the gallows with a hook pierced through his body Jánošík’s legend continued to grow after his death, first orally – with the first printed mention of his actions dating from 1809 – and later closely associated with the Slovak National Revival of the 19th century With songs praising his achievements and tales singing his exploits Jánošík soon became one of Slovakia’s most beloved national heroes seen as a fearless defender of the poor and symbol of the resistance of the underclass against feudal lords He became the character and protagonist of numerous novels TV shows and movies released throughout the 20th century in Slovakia Czech Republic and Poland – including the 2009 film Jánošík: A True story directed by Agnieszka Holland and Katarzyna Adamik “He’s a national hero, but he isn’t a ‘classical’ hero. Afterall, he’s an outlaw, a criminal”, Holland explained “Slovakia is probably the only country where the national hero is an outlaw.” Find out more about Central European history in our On this Day series
