Another cool grey day, so we dressed up well. In fact I had 5 layers along with my new gloves. It was spotting with rain when we left at 10:30 and before long it turned more serious and persistant.
The forecast had suggested a better day but the unusual weather system over us is not being very predictable.
We had a rather straight and boring leg for 15 km, before we arrived to some more interesting hilly scenery
Feeling much better, we were back on the road and pedalling into the mountains and towards a pass. We stopped half way at this huge quarry to watch a digger push material down the cliff.
This looked like a fun job I’d have liked!!
The ride down was great fun. I was a little cautious due to the wet roads, but still had my adrenalin fill👍🏼😁
The road then levelled off and we had an uneventful ride, in heavier rain for another 10 km before reaching our destination; very wet , once again.
We were only 100 metres to the oldest pub in Zabok, where I enjoyed a couple of great local beers at Weatherspoon prices😁
It had a great pub atmosphere, only spoilt by the fact that every other person was smoking. It was a reminder how it used to be in pubs. We had to leave early, as our eyes were stinging so much! Probably a good thing!
