I thought we were at this spot three years ago, but it was the next crossing to the east, at Ormoz: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/zagreb2020/in-varazdin-west-along-the-drava-0cb/.

The border was closed then due to Covid, but Rachael kept biking anyway because “Unless it’s a bridge out, borders mean nothing to a cyclist”.

I can’t believe you haven’t used it up! When I’m lucky enough to find peanut butter for Scott he finishes it off in a few days and I don’t have any of by choice.

Finally!

Ahh, just barely holding it together

Thanks Rachael and Scott, thinking today how fun its been to be on the road "with" you. You guys are such great cheerleaders! See you in Boise soon.

You are sure putting in the miles and in such yucky weather! You both are super tough!

Good job!

But no pedestrians...

Lol... The world over! Not that there aren't plenty of guys out there working hard but just saying... 🙂

Might be some kind of heather

What are they?

Too funny, we read this message 22km from Banja Luka, first break in a cafe, full of men! The owner "bought" us the coffee.

A hot shower and a good beer helps wash away the road for sure.

Clearly, directed at Rachel 😂
