In late April and early May, 2018 I flew to Venice and rode to Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy's Eastern Dolomites. It was a great trip full of interesting people, fabulous scenery and even a chance to watch the Giro d'Italia.
I've finished my detailed day-by-day journal of the trip which you can read
here. The ride took 29 days and ended back in Venice. You can see the route I rode
here.
