Details on the Trip

Hi,
here some details on the plan:

I will fly to Sofia on friday 25th of june - Peter will follow on Saturday.
We will meet in Sofia on Suturday to complete our serval setups (bike tuning aso..).

On sunday we plan to take the train from Sofia to at least Kostenets - maybe some stops further because getting out of Sofia by mtb is not very exiting. After that will take the road torwards Yakoruda. That first day will take us from Kostenets (500hm) up to 2000hm to a very nice dam. Then we will follow the ridge for about 10km which will be continued by a hopefully very nice downhill right to Yakoruda (about 900hm), were we already reserved a room for the night. Total length about 110km.

The next day will bring us at least to Kovacevica. Well it is only 70km away - lets see how far we will get...

The next targets should be crossing the boarder to Greece and heading south towards Serres (GR).

After that we are still not quite sure how to continue. Eiter we will change the route in BG to have another nice day in the bulgarian mountains and than just go to Saloniki and thake the ferry. Alternative would be cross Saloniki in the north and continue on the coastline in the south of Saloniki towards Larissa. And take the Train to Athens from Larissa.
Point is: Peter has to be in Athens at least on friday the 2nd afternoon so we only have 6 full days for the approximately 900km.

Well - we will see..
Alex
