07-SIBENIK-KOTOR

Mission begins in Sibenik, Croatia, traversing a varied corridor characterized by coastal plains and inland karst. The operator proceeds eastward through Croatian territory, navigating challenging terrain before crossing into Montenegro. The route culminates in the Bay of Kotor region, a deeply indented inlet on the Adriatic coast. The technical profile of this mission is a relentless grinder, punctuated by brief, almost mocking, descents. Expect sustained elevation gain, a consistent demand on the operator's endurance. Speed sectors reveal a rhythmic struggle, never truly settling into a smooth flow, more of a tactical advance and tactical retreat. This route appears to be an excellent way to appreciate the sheer effort involved in getting from one place to another.
