About

First cycling memory

My father bought be a 3 speed BMX bike when I was a kid that opened my eyes to the possibilities of off road cycling. After a few months though I took the whole thing apart and built a go-kart which I'm sure my parents weren't best pleased about.

Favourite bike

On tour I really like the Bianchi Intenso road bike. Back home I probably ride off road more and so the Specialized stumpjumper gets my vote.

Top climb

Any mountain around Bovec to be honest. I like to carry my bike to the top of a mountain and then cycle down!

One thing on your bucket list

Can I have 2? Windsurf along the coast of Mexico and visit every corner of my home country Slovenia.

A special skill you bring on tour

The art of relaxation and an expertise in choosing good local beers.

Favourite Ride & Seek tour gastronomic experience

Anything including aubergines. I would have to say parmigiana di melanzane would be my choice
