drunk bike punks

yeah bikes, there's some special bond between punks and bikes, probably since forever, so I guess  I'm not exception to this rule.. beside reading and books riding a bike is one of the rare things which makes me absolutely happy at the moment.. I'm not some professional, just ordinary drunk bike punk who like to discover new places and roads which actually surround me and I've never knew before that they exist.. and that's the most interesting part of it 'cause I live here for almost 30 years now and didn't know for some roads which are in radius of, like 20 km, or less in some cases,  from my home.. and yes riding a bike is definitely perfect way to explore such places..
this year, until now I was usually riding alone (like the lone ranger, hehe) 'cause my friends aren't much into the bikes and those who are were working, having girlfriends and all that things which normally folks does, and not having time for riding, but last two days Štakor joined me as a partner in crime and we started with little adventures..
1st day we just cycle around few nearby villages and examining beer quality in some local stores, just to get in shape.. and yesterday we went on some 22 km distant place called Ludbreški Vinogradi, it's actually a bunch of vineyards above city of Ludbreg.. it's really good route to go for late afternoon, not too long, with just perfect number of uphills and downhills and cool nature, only maybe the smell of pesticides ruins all the atmosphere but that's unavoidably around here.. we see all sorts of things while riding, like pretty girls in rubber boots coming out of car, people looking very nervous and in one moment people from every single house in village were mowing the lawn, also we were in huge megamarket with only one employee and air conditioning set to maximum but with no cold beers, etc.. on our back home we were having a real race with the storm, right behind us were flashes of lighting and raining but we menage to run away and only few rain drops catches us and makes us little wet but we are used to that already (okay, this last part of sentence just don't sound right, hehe)..
in short it was great trip for little recreation, thanks kume on beers and company..
here are also some pictures from some rides, from yesterday, same as
from some previous.. sorry for top quality photos taken with my mighty Rakia "some number" Classic 2.0 mega pixel phone camera, for bigger pictures just click on it - I do hope that it won't get you blind..
'till the next time, up the bike punks!..
