The cycling weekend was extremely successful and proved once again why cyclists love to return to this unforgettable sporting event, which we organize twice a year in Poreč. Despite the rain on the first day, we had an excellent training session, which further strengthened our endurance and cycling fitness.
The hotel had a large cycling center where you could rent road bikes. The center offered free bike washing, which we gladly took advantage of so that we could train on clean and ready bikes on Saturday. Saturday's training took place in dry weather, which allowed us to make even better use of the route. Sunday brought beautiful sunny weather, which concluded the entire weekend in the best possible way.
As always, the food at the Valmar Parentino **** hotel restaurant was top notch. The menu was extremely varied and satisfied all tastes, from those who swear by sports nutrition to those who want to indulge a little. There was also a spa center and saunas, as well as a large video gaming room, table tennis, billiards, and table foosball, where we spent the rest of our free time when we weren't cycling. Guided workouts were also organized in the gym, both in the morning and in the evening, which further enriched our experience.
The hotel is also very suitable for families, offering numerous activities for children, childcare, and other activities that allow complete relaxation for all generations.
On Saturday evening, we were thrilled by a lecture given by Andrej Hauptman, president of the KD Rog club and sports director of the UAE team, which manages Tadej Pogačar. He gave us a behind-the-scenes look at races such as the Tour de France. His stories and insights into the workings of professional teams inspired us and brought us closer to the world of top-level cycling.
On Friday evening after dinner, we had a pleasant get-together over a glass of wine, where we socialized and got to know each other better. Many of the weekend participants also connected with each other on Strava and are already looking forward to the next event, which will take place in the fall.
For the excellent organization of the cycling weekend, sincere thanks again go to Miru Miškulin, who ensured that the event ran smoothly and in a pleasant atmosphere.
