slovenija 3

another off-road ride yesterday, absolutely beautiful. one small problem - two flat tires which meant a 2.5 km hike home.

a quick note on how my riding days start. get up in the morning and have coffee, hot-chocolate, bread, nutella, prosciutto, and cheese. go and ride. come home have more cheese, proscuitto, wine and beer. about as close to heaven as you can get without dying (i get close on some of the climbs one has to do).

for fun laura and i went tandem paragliding yesterday. oh-my-god. running off an alpine meadow attached to a parachute/wing and then gliding around the mountains - absoultely mind-blowing.

chris you really need to get here. we drove over a mountain pass (vršič). 1611 meters high, with km after km of switch-backs. just nuts. a ton of cyclists on the road trying the pass. if you climbed it in one effort you would achieve lifetime stud status. have pictures.

ciao, alberto.
