Malačka is the saddle above Kaštela. From Kaštel Stari it is 8.4 kilometres at a steady five per cent, 480 metres at the top. Below you the bay, across the water Split and Marjan, the islands beyond.
A cycling club is taking shape here. No statutes yet, no jersey, no membership numbers. For now, a few people, a time to meet and the road up.
We ride pomalo: not slow, just unhurried. We wait at the top.
Afterwards, coffee on the Riva and feet in the sea. And on Sundays, Poljud. Hajduk živi vječno.
More when there is more to say.
