Our Dream MTB Trip to Slovenia – Day 1! With BikeNomad

For the @GoodyearBike mystery tour, @owilkins23 came up with an incredible plan for the dream MTB trip and I had no idea where we were heading. Enjoy all the highlights from day 1 in Jamnica, Slovenia with BikeNomad – the best trail guide on some of the best trails around! I actually raced an enduro world series on some of these tracks so it was super cool to return here with Olly and remind myself how awesome this area is! Enjoy 🙂

Accommodation pretty mental isn’t it it’s pretty mental and look at the mountains over there I’ve actually raced here Ollie as you know I did the ews here on that hill over there and hills around here and never did I realize that we’ve been in the same place before Anna

Who’s behind us owns bike Nomad and organizes lots of riding on the trails around here he organized the entire ews race which I did last year and it feels weird to be back here we literally stopped here for a drink at the race and some food and it kind of feels like I’m

Back sort of somewhere recognized despite of this all being a surprise and not knowing what was going to happen but Ollie you pulled out all the stops I don’t think my trip was very good now no well your trip was really good it’s just this one might be better we’ll see who

Work then how does this work we load and we go we load and we go I like the sound of that I’m hoping that we head to some of the trails that we raced here on this hill because they’re some of the best that I’ve ridden there’s enormous tracks

On that big hill in the distance with a massive Gondola but I’m thinking we’re going to ride locally which are so fun they’re low me they’re going to be bone dry an’s a bit worried about the rain coming in so we’re going to get a move on and do some laps let’s
