Koman

Very late start out of the hostel after breakfast and putting a tube in the tubeless tire that had completely dried up, no wonder it did not hold anymore.

It's already hot, 37 degrees Celsius which is what you would expect in Arizona in the summer. All of Europe is this hot. It is supposed to normalize next week back into the mid 20s.

I'm riding slowly, It's less of a climb than previous days and the big surprise is the brand new pavement all the way to Koman.

In the room I turn on the AC and catch my first afternoon nap on this trip. Sleep has been hard to come by.

The lake is stone cold in sharp contrast with the oven like temperatures. Too cold to swim, too hot to stay out. I look at my itinerary and make a change, I'm going back to Prokletije to climb Zla Kolata. Given the temperatures it's better to get up high.

Nice dinner on the terrace of the hotel with an all Dutch crew.Read more
