surrounding it. A technical but enjoyable trail that contained
everything a biker’s heart desires took us back to the boat.
The next day we knew that the rain wasn’t far behind us!
But our motivation to ride was enough to sail on towards
the next island - Brac. We hadn ́t even arrived at our
destination when we all started to put on our riding gear
in order to start right away. This tour led us through tiny
villages to the top of the highest hill we could fi nd.Here we went on a six-hour
mountain biking tour in a
breath-taking environment. To top
it all off, we hiked to the summit
cross carrying the bikes on our
shoulders. It’s such a pleasure to
ride bikes with a permanent view
over the whole island and the seaThe storm was howling in the evening, so we decided not to
leave the harbour, as it was too dangerous and continue our
trip when Mother Nature was again on our side. Although
we secured the boat as much as possible, the whole crew
did not sleep very well. It’s a really cool experience to be
completely exposed to the forces of nature in a world where
you can usually guard yourself against everything. When we
woke up the next day, the sun was shining and we were able
to sail on. After fi ve hours we arrived in Starigrad on the
island of Hvar.IT’S A REALLY COOL
EXPERIENCE TO BE
COMPLETELY EXPOSED
TO THE FORCES OF
NATURE IN A WORLD
WHERE YOU CAN
USUALLY GUARD
YOURSELF AGAINST
EVERYTHING.”

At some point, we didn’t expect to fi nd trails anymore, so
we decided to do some urban riding. At the end of the day
we even found a little trail which was really fun to ride.
No riding was planned for the next day, and we spent a
windy day sailing onto the destination of Zlarin. While we
were landing in the port, we saw a trail which was winding
straight from the top of the mountain to the harbour we
were in. We decided to get up at 4 o’clock the next morning
to do a little sunrise tour. Although we were not able to see
any of the sunrise due to clouds, it was a nice good morning
ride. After a refreshing breakfast on the boat, we headed
back to Sukosan, our home port.
