Timber exploitation in the triangle between Rijeka, Karlovac and Karlobag has created good roads which can serve cyclists for all kinds of trips and sport training.
Quite a number is paved and suitable for racing bikes but MTB is certainly a more reliable choice.
If summer heat makes cycling too strenuous seaside is always near and a dive in Adriatic can make you forget all you pain.
