15 let Športnega društva Randonneurs Slovenija

Ob obletnici ustanovitve Športnega društva Randonneurs Slovenija se bomo odpravili na Prelepo Gorenjsko, kot bi rekli Avseniki. Ceste so poznane, so pa kontrolne točke v starih mestnih jedrih (Kranj, Radovljica), kar kolesarji ponavadi obvozimo.

Opis trase:

Štart breveta bo na Lavrici, Picerija Valerie (tam bo po prihodu v cilj tudi pogostitev udeležencev), kjer je dovolj prostora za parkiranje. Prvi kilometer poti proti Ljubljani nas vodi po glavni cest, na 1,7 km pa zavijemo na kolesarko stezo. Večji del poti skozi Ljubljano je speljan po kolesarskih stezah, bo pa na tem delu več semaforjev, prehodov čez cesto, zato pazljivo.

Po prevoženi Ljubljani, nadaljujemo proti prestolnici Gorenjske, Kranju. Do Smlednika je nekaj »hupserjev« nato pa Gorenjska ravnica s pogledi na Kamniške Alpe. V Kranju, Prešernovem mestu, je v starem mestnem jedru prva kontrolna točka, kip Franceta Prešerna (foto).

Iz Kranja, nadaljujemo proti Radovljici. Na tem delu poti je nekaj hitrih spustov in »zavitih« ovinkov, tako da bo potrebna pozornost.

Radovljica je tisto mesto, ki ga ponavadi »obvozimo«. Tokrat gremo do lepo ohranjenega starega mestnega jedra, poznanega po dobri čokoladi. Druga kontrolna točka se nahaja pred cerkvijo Svetega Petra, kip Ceneta Avguština (foto). Cene Avguštin (19923-2010) je bil zgodovinar, ki je raziskoval in opisoval gorenjska mesta.

Jezera Bled na Gorenjskem ne moremo izpustiti. Jezero je ledeniškega izvora z otokom in čudovitimi pogledi na Karavanke in Julijske Alpe. Najlepši pogled je iz Velike Zake, kjer bo tudi tretja kontrolna točka (72,5 km). Voda je še prijetno topla, tako da so kopalke tokrat skoraj »obvezna oprema«. Nadaljujemo ob jezeru, kjer bo veliko sprehajalcev, tako da previdno.

Po manjšem vzponu in spustu proti Jesenicam, se ob vznožju Karavank vračamo proti Ljubljani, najprej pa še postanek pri Avsenikovih (KT4, 95,9km, Muzej Avsenik). Brata Slavko in Vilko, sedaj pa njuni vnuki, so v zadnjih 60 letih oblikovali svetovno »narodno-zabavno« glasbo s svojimi deli pa postavljala rekorde po prodaji in poslušanosti njihove glasbe.

Ker smo kolesarji, bomo na poti domov, zavili še na klanec, Klanec pri Komendi, kjer nas med okrevanjem, morda pozdravi tudi Pogi.

Pri povratku bomo Ljubljano obvozili preko vasi na severozahodnem delu (Pržan, Podutik, Dobrova, Brezovica) in se po Ljubljanskem barju vračali proti cilju.

Malo pred ciljem (184,9. km) nas čaka še zadnja kontrolna točka, Podpeško jezero. Jezero, kraškega izvora, globoko do 51m, bo zadnja točka za osvežitev )plavanje ali pivo).

Kontrolne točke:

1. KT, 38,4 km, Kranj, staro mestno jedro, kip Franceta Prešerna (foto)
2. KT, 62,1 km, Radovljica, staro mestno jedro, kip Ceneta Avguština (foto)
3. KT, 78,5 km, Bled, Velika Zaka, (foto – jezero/otok)

On the anniversary of the founding of Randonneurs Slovenija, we will head to Beautiful Gorenjska, as the Avsenik Brothers might have put it. The roads will be familiar, but this time the control points are located in historic town centres (Kranj and Radovljica), places that cyclists would normally bypass.

Route description

The brevet will start in Lavrica, at Pizzeria Valerie (where participants will also be treated to food and refreshments after reaching the finish). There is plenty of parking available.

The first kilometre towards Ljubljana follows the main road, and at km 1.7 we turn onto a cycle path. Most of the route through Ljubljana follows cycle lanes and cycle paths, but there are several traffic lights and road crossings along this section, so please ride carefully.

After crossing Ljubljana, we continue towards Kranj, the capital of the Gorenjska region. There are a few short rolling climbs before Smlednik, followed by the flat Gorenjska countryside with views of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps.

In Kranj, the city of Slovenia’s great poet France Prešeren, the first control point is located in the historic town centre, at the statue of France Prešeren (photo).

From Kranj, we continue towards Radovljica. This section includes several fast descents and winding bends, so extra caution will be required.

Radovljica is one of those towns that we cyclists usually bypass. This time, however, we will ride into its beautifully preserved historic centre, also famous for its excellent chocolate. The second control point is located in front of St Peter’s Church, at the statue of Cene Avguštin (photo). Cene Avguštin (1923–2010) was a historian who researched and documented the towns of the Gorenjska region.

No ride through Gorenjska would be complete without visiting Lake Bled. This glacial lake, with its famous island, offers magnificent views of the Karawanks and the Julian Alps. One of the finest views is from Velika Zaka, where the third control point will be located (km 78.5). The water should still be pleasantly warm, so this time swimming gear is almost “mandatory equipment”. We continue along the lakeshore, where there are likely to be many pedestrians, so please ride carefully.

After a short climb and descent towards Jesenice, we begin our return towards Ljubljana along the foothills of the Karawanks. But first, we stop at the home of the legendary Avsenik Brothers (CP4, km 95.9, Avsenik Museum). Brothers Slavko and Vilko Avsenik, and now their grandchildren, have played a major role in shaping the internationally recognised Slovenian style of folk-pop music over the past 60 years. Their music has achieved remarkable popularity and record sales.

Since we are cyclists, on our way home we will, of course, add another climb – Klanec pri Komendi, where, if he happens to be recovering at home, we might even get a wave from Pogi.

On the return journey, we will bypass central Ljubljana through villages on its north-western outskirts – Pržan, Podutik, Dobrova and Brezovica – before crossing the Ljubljana Marshes on our way towards the finish.

Shortly before the finish (around km 185), we reach the final control point, Lake Podpeč. This karst lake, up to 51 metres deep, will provide one last opportunity for some refreshment – whether that means a swim or a beer.
