FULL ITINERARY
DAY ONE THU 30 JUN | WELCOME
Your guides will meet you in the foyer of the start hotel mid-morning. First, bike setup. We'll ensure your hire bikes fit you perfectly, and assist anyone bringing their own bike that it's ready to roll. This will be followed by an early light lunch and Tour Briefing. Our afternoon ride will take us on a fun loop north of Ljubljana, through forest and farmland. A great introduction of Slovenia, unsealed!

A combination of gravel and road riding today as we transfer from Postojna to Slap. Excellent detour to the impressive Predjama Castle half tucked into a cave, and into the side of a cliff.
