Piran? Last minute change

Piran is a seaside city for me to target. But it's too far out of the way, and as much as I would love to cycle the Istria peninsula, it doesn't fit into the time schedule to make it to Split by May 9th. While eating my breakfast I decide to ride directly to Rijeka. On the ride I realize I could maybe catch a ferry, but instead it has to be a bus to get to Krk, to get a head start on this island full of serious mountain bike trails. Ron from Salida is leading a tour there next week and it's on my way so I'll get to beat him to it.

Malinska, on Krk, is also a seaside town and I'm enjoying the ambiance in the harbor and the live music on this Saturday night. I made a call and got lucky. As the Dutch saying goes 'I fell with my nose in the butter.' The next 3 days I can tear up the trails here.

What stood out today was yet another incredibly quiet agricultural valley that breathes peace and harmony. The incredible spring weather doesn't hurt. It's a splendid experience on all kinds of small roads and paths, even had to wade a good sized stream. Loving the adventure.

Looks like I photographed a beer commercial,and a few postcards. Even enjoyed a short fire works.Read more
