Apr 06 - Apr 12
Weather was good this week and since we spend monday by traveling from Makarska to Zagreb, I couldn't resist to not go out on Tuesday for my fist test ride. Did just little trip along riverbank to west end of Zagreb and back but it was nice. I wasn't alone feeling the urge to go out and met lots of people walking, cycling, running.
Same day I've prepared another batch of Kombucha - Red Orange from Makarska and some spices - Anise and Cardamom.
Taste turned out great - I'll repeate, I've struggled with 2nd fermentation since I've tried to end it up prematurely but that was easy to fix.
Work-wise I had a week when nothing special was going on (which I don't like). Boss asked me If I'd switch with another colleague from another project but I ignored this message for now. Talked about it briefly with product manager and he didn't like it at all. Thats obvious since I'm helping him the most from all the team.
On Tuesday I've got my new book that I've looked so much forward to! Was a long time I've read something technical.
Another day I've managed to get on bike again and combine it with outdoor TRX session. Saturday was colder so I was mostly doing home chores while Veronika was preparing to school and Sunday I've found a new gravel route to Sljeme so I've tried it out.
It was a decent trip with over 1100 elevation gain. Path up was mostly solid gravel / makadam. When I've reached to I've joined neat asphalt road. On top of the mountain it was quite alive, lots of hikers, mountain bikers and handful of road cyclist. Those mountain bikers must got there by cable car since I only met few going the opposite direction. Road bikers presumably used asphalt road to get there. All mountain houses / coffee places were cramped with people Occasionally I saw snow. I've appretiated that there have werent a lot of cars up there this time. On a way back I've decided to use gravel road instead of asphalt and I regretted my decision. Way back was too steep and bumpy I've spent it convulsively braking while trying to keep balance. Would appretiate hydraulic brakes and wider tires. Whole trip was about 50km and took me 4 hours 15minutes, 3 banannas, 1.2 liter of water and a bit of salt. It was great.
