Our President, Lynn Farrell just completed a Backroads bike trip from Split to Dubrovnik and shared how this adventure was both accessible and amazing—even for those who don’t consider themselves avid cyclists!
Most of the participants, ages 55 to 70, enjoyed the trip on e-bikes, making it a breeze to explore the breathtaking Croatian countryside. Lynn describes the experience as one of the easiest and most spectacular ways to connect with the landscape.
After the biking portion, Lynn and her husband took a scenic drive over to Montenegro, a destination she had never visited before. The hotels and Adriatic Sea views were nothing short of spectacular, and she invites you to follow her journey on Lynn Farrell Adventures on Instagram for a closer look at these incredible spots.
