Sun: Ride – Adriatic Coast



A lovely ride along the Adriatic coast was a bit difficult as the hills were short and plentiful, but provided great views of the sea. There are 4 groups of riders (super fast, very fast, fast, not-so fast). You choose the group that’s right for you – after an hour all the groups convene and you can change groups based if you desire. During our stay there were about 60-75 riders and they dropped the super fast group in favor of two fast groups. Part of the bike hotel service is laundering your bike clothes every day and they provide you with a snack (banana and small sandwich) for your ride. They serve 3 meals per day…beer along with a different local wine (red and white) each night are provided free of charge. We met a very nice gentleman, Donald, on our first ride. A native Scot, he’s with the army based in Moscow for years. We had fun talking with him before dinner about his job, where he lives and our shared passion for biking.
