Krk MTB

Why am I bike touring on a mountain bike instead of on the proper touring bike? I sometimes stop for a few days take everything off and go rip on some really great mountain bike tracks. That was the case today on Krk.

As I am meandering about, anything interesting I run into is a great surprise. The largest oak tree on the island happened to be on my trail, is branches reach 50 ft out in all directions. It's an absolute giant. Right next to it is a pond, one of 300 on the island, full of mating frogs. It was a loud spectacle as you can see.

I only saw five mountain bikers total, four on e-bikes and a casual rider from Kosovo, with whom I climb to 252 m where the Church of Petr was built on a hilltop with great views.

Lunch was phenomenal and yet another surprise. I simply asked for a bubbly and some cold cuts and cheese. Instead, the waiter brought me a wine spritzer and an enormous plate with homemade cured ham and homemade hard cheese. Together with Olives, small pickles, olive oil and bread I had an enormous meal. I did well and ate all of it. Can I still ride to my hotel after all that? I did but it was close.Read more
