Today’s breakfast was included in the hotel’s fee. A coffee and a chocolate croissant.<\/p>\n

We left Pej\u00eb to the north-east, heading to Montenegro. For the first 10km the road was almost flat. Then the climbing started, and 12km later we reached the Kosovar border check-point, then had to climb for another 10km to the pass at approx. 1796m (according to my GPS).
\nSoon after the check-point it started to rain (the first rain on the entire trip!) and at the pass it was freezing cold (well, around 8\u00b0C, but in a strong wind and in wet clothes that feels icy). We changed to dry and water-proof clothing inside an abandoned hut next to the road, and started rolling down on the northwestern side of the mountains – first to the Montenegrin border check-point (where the rain stopped while we had our passports stamped), and then 20km non-stop to the town of Ro\u017eaje.<\/p>\n

Frankenwheel had lost air pressure again last night but was fairly stable over the day once pumped up. On the downhill section I tried not to exceed 40kph, though. With a proper tyre that ride would have been a hell of a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

We were still freezing when we reached the town and decided to stay in a hotel for the night.<\/p>\n

Cycled: 56km<\/p>\n
