Acknowledgements

I have so many people to thank for their help in writing this book. First and foremost, however, is my wife Jess, without whose encouragement, emotional support and financial aid, this book could never have got off the ground.

Thank you also to all the people who showed me around. Gregor, Nina, Bostjan, Jani and Peter all gave me a local’s view on the best trails. They’ve also given you someone else, other than me, to look at in the photos.

The local business community in Slovenia also jumped to my assistance. Thanks to Apartma Mavrič, Hotel Golte, Terme Krka, Hostel Pod Voglem, Hotel Plesnik, Hotel Lek and Gregor and Nina (again) for offering me free or heavily discounted accommodation.

Finally, thanks also to Lucijan at Proloco who, without knowing me from Adam, lent me a new Scott bike every time I came begging. Over 1750km covered on those borrowed bikes.
