Graz, Austria - Maribor, Slovenia
Next stop is Graz for some
fun citizen duty of filling out paperwork, meeting with offices, bla
bla bla.
Though our pit stop was
suppose to take 2 days max, I got sick and made our stay turn out to
a week dragging Raf into my misery of headache, stuffy nose, and
cough. A good time to get better with some private “aufguss” at
the sauna.
We set off to Maribor,
Slovenia, free of fever, but still blowing our noses as if they were
trumpets. We were off to the popular bike park known for its world
cup downhill trail. We arrived to a mountain full of snow and closed
lifts, but being used to this weather and not very keen on dates, we
were hardly surprised and we rode our bikes up the mountain to earn
our ride down. Big birms, big jumps, and a destroyed trail full of
muddy, slippery parts, but impressive enough to want to come back
with some skills to ride this!
We got our bikes checked
by the local mechanic specialised in DH bikes and he was so relaxed
since the busy season was over, he took all his time to show us how
to make our bikes perfect.
Off to Kotecnik for a short
day climbing but lucky because sunny.
On our way to Bulgaria,
crossing the first boarder: Croatia, and our first check which seems
to stress out Raf so much as if we were some sort of wine smugglers
or something ;)
Odometer shows 4000km since
the start of our trip!
