Formally Serbia-Montenegro, but since last year it is an independent nation. I took some pictures on the way in, I will try to post them later this weekend. I posted pictures in Italy at a internet cafe using my laptop, not sure about the setup here. I may try using my 1Gb MP3 player as a thumb drive to post pictures from my work computer.

For now, I have been looking at cycling sites trying to find info on the roads and routes here. The country is largely rural, so I may swap out the 23s for some 25mm tires. The Euro websites show Tivat to Budva as a route using service roads. I am severely limited by bandwidth and google earth only shows the highways. The satellite shows many roads, how many are paved is anyone's guess.

On an extreme longshot, does anyone have any info or has possible ridden here? I tried Motion Based and Routeslip, no joy. Looks like I am a pioneer.

This month's Velo Magazine (in France) has a full feature on riding in Montenegro -- which they rate as very high up there! I don't have the mag with me but I'll try to post from home tonight.
