Another morning one in rovinj

Dropped off in ljubljana and got in a fun run w trav to see a few tourist spots.

Morning quick one in Rovinj before ride. Nice town on the Adriatic Sea.

Coastal ride ending the trip. Riding in Croatia last couple days not too exciting.

Easy cruise. Getting used to riding on one spd only. Popeye right leg after a couple more days of it!

Great long climb up to some kind looking women peeling onions happy to serve us some Cockta, a cherry coke like drink that promises to be thirst quenching. After that the ride became a bit of a circus for me. Accepting my shit technical skills, a gravel descend was given as an option. "Left to the church" - turned out to be not so simple. Lost in Slovenia mountains for about a half hour. Eventually hooked up with the group said my apologies, but no sooner does my pedal fall apart on a series of crazy descends. Rode the spindle til I hooked up again with guide who put one flatbed no cleat pedal on and that is how I rode in the day. Really frustrating being such a weenie on the bike here, and run into double bad luck today. Ah, guess that is what vacation is for! Despite all this, trip has been really fun thus far...and apparently most of the nutty technical stuff is behind us - please have it be true!

Some very cool caves before crossing the border into croatia

Run down and back up w trav before we leave koros mtb organic farm - very cool place. Last night we all laid in the barn in hay watching life cycles movie on a big screen and drinking hillbillly cider - made for a great night sleep.

Before heading into croatia, a very cool singletrack - a bit over my skill set to have it way fun but the 6km in a closed mine 500m down made up for the bit of frustration.

The most amazing man made trails off gondola ride up , over in Austria. A lot of stuff way over my technical skill set and probably owe the guide behind me new brake pads - what a patient guy he was. Gomer move of all time - nice burn in my calf very much resembling a disc brake.
