At the end of a heat wave in Croatia, so any longer rides are Gorski Kotar exclusively.
Had to sleep in a little due to me staying up and drinking wine with some “friends” who wouldn’t let me go home (thanks Petra & Tony). It was already 26-27 degrees when I started the 20k climb towards Gorski Kotar and towards some cooler temperatures.
End of the ride, down by the coast, it was around 30 degrees. Luckily it’s all pretty much downhill straight to the house to end the ride. Even so, going down the mountain it feels like someone is blowing a hair dryer on you.
