This is a story about backup plan for weekend that become one of the best bike weekends. Initial plan was to ride in Italy near Bovec to repeat ride on Rezijanski Skutnik, which was one of mine favorites rides and the next day to bike on Dobrenjščica, but due to bad weather we decided to visit Mežica. Few days before Ivan and I spent a lot of time drawing gpx tracks and collecting information about local trails (there isn’t so much information). We stayed in bikeSki b&b which turned out as a great place. Hosts Primož & Nataša are very friendly. Rooms are clean and tidy, and every morning Nataša prepared breakfast for us which kept us alive and full of energy on ascents.

Primož didn’t have e-mtb so we didn’t ask him for guiding, but regardless he gave us some directions which ascents to ride, pinpoint which trails for up or down are maybe better from what we drawn, and gave us instructions where are good sightseeing places. As I understood, Primož has shuttle service. All in all cost-benefit ratio of apartment is great and it exceeded our expectations with its concept and casual style. After morning and breakfast we started our ride from apartment and first rode for Pikov vrh and famous ridgeline trails. This is first of four ascents (and descents) that day. All in all we managed to collect 2280 vertical meters of ascent.
