Slovenia: With Bikes to Nova Gorica

Cold morning and good weather forecast, just ideal for some cycling. I started cycling early in the morning and at 6:45 Aleš joined me in Lipnica. Together we conquered Jamnik and Dražgoše and descended to Železniki, where Grega, Rok and Vlado joined us. Together we attacked nice section to Petrovo Brdo, where we had a short break. We were soon ready for the quick section towards Most na Soči, where we had our first beer. Last hilly section was in front of us and we had no difficulties with it, so we just continued through Čepovan to Solkan and our destination Nova Gorica, where we had a big lunch. Soon we moved to the railway station and we took the train back to Bled, where we saddled our bikes again and we all went back home.
