7 Rides on Istria

My base was located near Pula, the small village of Peruski. The landscape is hilly the lesser roads are tarmac with potholes, the offroad tracks are gravel, dirt and the interesting ones are usually overgrown. No precise maps can be found. There are number of "official" tracks, but usually not quite where you'd like to start. So I decided to go into pathfinder mode and find my own tracks and trails. Beastly and gnarly stuff, but pure Adventure when you are not afraid of dogs. There are quite a handful of them, especially at the outer fringes of the numerous small villages you eventually hit on your stray ramblings. All in all 350 km and 4000 vertical meters and some 21 hrs of riding.
All in all a FIVE STAR holiday.

Istria

Training south of the Alps in Istria, Close to the sea and hopefully with warm breezes and the first true sights of spring. My next post will be from the sea! :-)
