Not been an update here in a while! Mainly because I've been too busy with house DIY, & its shown a bit in the Strava end of year thingy - a good thousand miles down on my usual year.
Croatia was pretty mega. Five hundred miles or so of beautiful scenery, fantastic roads, excellent value wine & extraordinarily cheap apartments. In the end we only camped once & that was during a bura wind.
Personal favourite bit of the trip was a mountainous seventy mile day. In the last fifteen miles there was a lengthy gravel section over the top to get across to an access road. We got chased by a huge dog, had to stop to get some drone footage, & then the sun started to set. We then had to descend 1,400m of seeming cliff wall down to the sea to get to our last minute apartment for the night. Never descended with such urgency in my life, it was pitch black at the bottom! Also one of my friends completely overshot the turning as he was laughing away in race mode & had to ride back up a 200m climb to get to the bay we were staying in, ahah.
As always, pictures don't do it justice. I won't bore you with the rest as there might be a film about it one day. Bike performed absolutely perfectly, even on the gravel (on 27mm tyres).
