3 mountain passes, 2 gears, 1 hope - Max' electric rear derailleur is still malfunctioning.
More precisely, he has the choice between the very smallest gear and the largest, haha - so it's a balancing act between cadence training and maximum strength.
But the recommended bike store keeps what they promise

Done - we strap our skis onto our bikes for one last time and head down into the valley. Hungry, we look forward to a good dinner and a place to sleep.

Kanin, what a dream area.
Although it has not snowed for 5 weeks, we start hiking early in a valley still unknown to us. On our maps we have discovered potentially interesting runs in the back of the valley. But the sun rises quickly and our legs still feel yesterdays effort.
Max's heart literally leaps

Before sunrise we ride down the hairpin bends over the classic cobblestones. Soon we will switch to skis and the last day of skiing can begin.

Phew... and that at the hardest pass: Max's gears are going completely crazy. He only has the choice between the highest and the lowest gear. But a few hours later the Vrsic Pass is also in the books.

Today it's on ... could probably be the good Italian coffee, the sunshine with 25°C, the refreshing jump into the sea and the prospect of exciting skiing in the Slovenian Alps. ;)
So another short break at the sea and off to Slovenia.

"Actually, we just ride along the sea, how come we have to do 2000hm today!"?
Well, it's pretty hilly here between Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. Even in the city of Rijeka, it seems to be all uphill. But we still have enough time for a delicious lunch, before we ride with great excitement in the direction

We found snow, in Croatia, in March. Wohoo ;)
At least a little bit ... but there's something about doing a few turns in the slushy snow here, wearing a T-shirt, in between the flower meadows with a view of the Mediterranean Sea. A small kicker is quickly built and we enjoy the spring feeling.
Oh yes

Let's face it... sometimes it's not as easy as it seems. After skipping a nice gravel pass yesterday with the intention of looking for snow on the other pass - which was in vain - we're pretty out of breath today: It's late, we don't have a safe destination in mind and now we have to ride back 15km because

Sunshine, short pants, gravel roads - a beautiful day. Our concerns about good snow conditions are slowly increasing - the question is more whether we will still find snow here at all in Croatia.
