Verča starts a new job in a week.
The new employment isn’t accessible by tram and the bus takes 45+min in rush hour.
So she is going to have to ride to work, what a shame.
I mapped out and pre-rode a course for her.
It’s an awesome combination of back alleys, paved paths, urban singletrack, and a big park with fast dirt, gravel, and paved trails (and some stunts on the side if you’re looking for a detour.) Hell, it even has a mini zoo and a couple of beer gardens.

first you hop on the path through some shady concrete walls.

then a nice paved pedestrian path along a little creek, the Botič

you cross our main tram line and follow the Botič for a little longer, even though the path is long abandoned. note: the beer garden sign to the right. and its even Gambrinus, Verča’s favorite.

then slide past the gate into the train yards property, ie. no cars allowed.

hop the curb onto urban singletrack (and past some squatting on the left.)

up another dead-end street that happens to let bikes through and you are to….

a bridge over the highway with…

a sweet helical ramp at the end of it. these are actually pretty common here.

That’s about half of the distance in photos, then you are in the park and on trails for the rest of the way. I’ll take some general pics next time I’m over there with a camera.

It took me 40min stopping to take pictures and about 20 couple to get home.
I think I am going to ride to work with her everyday and then come home and work.
It’ll be a nice start to the day.

(ed’s: also it looks like one more try and I’ll have it linked by dirt to the Točna trails.)

OK, back to work, I mean if even we have to over here!
