Hottest riding day so far. Was dreaming of shade on some of the hills. Pretty urban day today with one awesome hill climb above Tiranë - which seems to be the go to road for Tirane's serious roadies. We got overtaken by lots!
Took a wee shortcut (yep another one) which got us back onto the main Trans Dinarica route again and has given us a few spare days so we can stop and smell a few roses along the way. This particular shortcut involved a newly built motorway for about 12km. No one seemed to care and it saved us from death by hills. Found a water source on the road, popular with the locals which was the coldest and sweetest yet - beats the warm chlorinated stuff that's been in the water bladder all day.
Lake Ohrid, Macedonia tomorrow.
