RIDE TIPS
Simple preparation goes a long way.
Start early
Morning rides are often cooler and quieter, especially in warmer months.
Carry water
Longer inland sections can feel remote, so take enough water for the full ride.
Expect climbing
Istria is rarely completely flat. Even shorter routes can include repeated hills.
Check your bike
Tyres, brakes and gearing matter more when routes mix descents, rough roads and steeper gradients.
