14th day - from Ljubljana to Pivka

The highlight of the heatwave? Comparisons? Maybe 100 hairdryers blowing in your face during descents. Or the feeling of being a perforated water heater: pour something in from the top, and it immediately comes out of every pore.

However, it must be said: as long as you're riding, it's relatively fine; only on the mountain, at a speed of 7, there's a risk of flooding in your eyes.

Drinking lots and lots of water and taking sufficient breaks in the shade helps - and of course, getting up early and making use of the coolness (haha) of the morning.
