Slovenie, 2 oktober 2013, Podcetrtek-Novo Mesto

From Podčetrtek a ride with a substantial climb to Olimje. Then back to the main road and follow it to the Buce turnoff. There a quiet country road with a significant climb to Buce followed by a descent to Podsreda. After Podsreda, another tough climb, then descend to the main road at Bistrica. Then another long climb and descent to Brezovica. The last stretch to Brezice is along quiet, fairly flat country roads via Kapele. From Brezice, almost flat on the main road to Kostanjevica, then a steep climb on a country road and a descent towards Smarje. Finally, at Šentjernej, back on the main road to Novo Mesto. This last part is gently hilly.
