About Marcel Jans
Altijd op zoek naar het avontuur, het liefst in landen waar het avontuur op iedere hoek te vinden is: Albanië, Iran, Marokko, Georgië… maar evengoed is het ook genieten op de kleine paadjes in Limburg, België, Frankrijk en onze eigen achtertuin: de bossen van de landgoederen in Midden-Brabant. Als het maar van de gebaande paden af is 😊

The queen stage: a long run from Bled and then (largely) unpaved over the Vrsic pass. Steepest parts (up to 14%) were on the paved road. Unpaved less steep, but occasionally some technical parts due to the boulders on the path.
Another beautiful ride, but fortunately it only started raining once we had set up the tent.

We were actually going to drive into Croatia, but that route turned out to be too mountainous with too few facilities. Because we enjoyed the West Loop Bikepacking Tour so much two years ago, we are riding it again (in a slightly different variant), but this time counterclockwise. In any case, today…

We left the south of Slovenia and drove to Skofja Loka. From here we will go on a bikepacking tour around the Julian Alps. Immediately took the opportunity to visit the historic town of Skofja Loka and the castle. Beautiful town where fortunately not everything has been restored to perfection.

Another beautiful ride through the vineyards and picturesque villages. After an investment of 10 minutes of planning with Komoot, we were presented with surprising paths again and only had to turn around once (too much walking path).

With a tough climb at the end to get back to the Vipava Valley, rewarded with a beautiful view 🤩

Wonderfully relaxing trip on gravel roads and backroads. And for the training (and the view) another 5 kilometer climb was built in. 😊

First round from the campsite in the Vipava Valley. Set out with Komoot, encountered adventurous paths here and there with the necessary obstacles. It was a gravel tour with MTB segments and bits of hike-a-bike. If that doesn't spoil the fun, the surroundings are really beautiful 😊.

Went on a nice trip to the Chaamse forests on the Giant Defy with gravel tires. Explored parts of the route for our gravel event The Gravel Pit on Sunday October 1. Paths are in good condition. See: thegravelpit.nl

A tour of the Roovertsche and Regte heathland. Some wet parts difficult to drive with the narrow gravel tires. Nice ride again after a bike-free period.

Short but tough stage: quite a few hike-a-bike segments because it was too muddy, too steep or too stony. Kept dry apart from a few showers. Now arrived in Tolmin where we will stay for a few days due to the expected bad weather 🌧️⛈️
