I met Charly in Vlore and together we took on the mountainous challenge. The steep ascent turned out to be a stroke of luck, as we were able to motivate each other. The view from the top of the mountain was breathtaking and the subsequent descent made up for the effort, even if the rain put a spanner in the works.

The route from Vlore to Himare passes through the Llogara Pass, which is known for its winding road and spectacular views of the coast. An absolute highlight for cyclists who are up for the challenge.
