From Yolanda:
Hi yesterday we managed to get up too late, climb the mount of beglika, where 2 p. got lost, + race down to septembri to get on train just in time: with 15 bikes + luguage! Today we will climb.. Around 37 km. But.. W didnt leave vellingrad yet. Lets move! Yo
According to the published route plan:
# Samokov - Septemvri
* Go to Beli Iskar – after the village there is steep climbing to Borovetz – 5 km. This is the slow and hard part for this day. Once you Reach Borovetz take the direction to Kostenetz – there is only steep downhill ride. Must be really careful – steep riding on much curved road with cars and trucks in both directions /might be heavy traffic/. After Kostenetz the road is mostly flat to Septemvri, heavy traffic but wide and easy to ride. At the crossing to Velingrad take direction to Septemvri – 2 km and after the overpass go to the railway station. Keep strong and packed group to be ontime for the train to Velingrad. Be careful with downhill riding and be sure to have brakes in good shape.# Septemvri – Velingrad
* We take The train at 17.45 from Septemvri which arrives 19.10 in Velingrad.
* Bikes are accepted on the train with 2 lv fee. Use group ticket.
