We started from our accomodation with immediate steep downhill to Trento. After initial search for the cycling route we settled to a steady tempo. First stop was for a coffee before Bozen and then a a snack before lunch after Bozen. We tried to stay out od main roads so even some Strade Bianche after

We started with very bad legs from Peschiera del Garda, even some Morettis last night did not help. The road to Riva del Garda offered some adrenalin, riding through many tunnels. Not a nice feeling with cars and motorcycles behind you back.
We had to stop a bit for coffe and lunch in Riva.
After Riva

Great weather with not so much headwind. Anyway, first part was mostly on a busy local roads with significant trafic. A stop worth mentioning in Monteforte d'Alpone for coffee and a quick tour through the Verona city center.

Weather forecast said wind from the east in the begining and wind from the west at the end. Exacly so it was, just that headwind started already when crossing the border to Italy.
Tempo was decent and with lunch at da Michele we had suficient fuel. Had one puncture on the cobbles near Portogruaro and

It takes some time to reach home from La Spezia with public transport and national border in between does not help. We managed to plan train connections to reach Logatec on the same day, but the trick was that we had to leave train in Trieste central station and catch another train in Opčine. We had

Final day started in Parma with Louise homemade breakfast with Parmigiano and Prosciutto di Parma. Perfect for the climbs that waited for us that day. We took the climb to Lagastrello with an easy pace and even enjoy sun on top for some time. Descent was just wonderful, almost al the way to La Spezia

Third day started with a flat tire, so the start was postponed for some service time. Since this was the second flat tire we had no more spares and we had to look for a bike shop on the way to Parma.
We started with a little of downhill in not so warm weather and slippery roads, but after some initial

Over night the rain was pouring and in the morning it was not much different. We spend almost all morning on a breakfast talking with the hotel owner. Just around noon, we decided to take a chance and follow a small window of very light rain. It took as much more time as planned to cycle through slippery

We start the first day without a clear daily target, but we wanted to make more than 200km. First 50km was easy with nice wind in the back, so we were flying to Sežana and our optimism was growing. After coffee and toast, we crossed the border to Italy and real adventure begun. Stunning views on Adriatic

For this last day we planned a short distance and since we were getting closer to bigger city (Split), also the roads were busier. Nothing special happening along the way, we reached Split. First stop was train station to check possibilities to return home. We found out that you can only take bikes on

In the morning we decided to cycle to Zadar and then continue along the cost. This part from Posedarje to Zadar was surely the most adrenaline part with lots of traffic in the morning and some rude drivers. Near Pakoštane we made a small detour on a less busy road near lake Vrana and cycle to Tribunj

Day started with nice view of the seaside and fortress Nehaj in Senj. The challenge was to find a place for breakfast, that was open at 8 in the morning. Had to go a little off the route, but can't go without eating. Since we started this trip without many miles on bike this year, some parts of us were

Last day of this short adventure. After a fabulous breakfast at the Rosengarten hotel, we started our descend towards Lienz. With an exception of first kilometer, we sticked to cycling routes crossing the river many times. Enjoyable ride even with a little bit of sore backside. After Lienz road was more
