Biking on Pokljuka

There are not many people in the world, that are always ready to do hardcore biking (and surprisingly take pleasure in it). Well, Pečnik is certainly one of them! We have long talked about mountain biking, however, the problem was that he used to bike for a team... and me, lets just say that biking is not my specialty. Anyways, he convinced me that he is in horrible condition and that we will do just fine. And so we drove to his summer house on Bled and enjoyed a great afternoon there. When I woke up early next morning and saw him in his "team dress," I knew that a long and hard day is ahead of me. Off we went, from Bled (490m) to Pokljuka (1347m). My average heart rate was probably around 175 bpm, while Pečnik was having a walk in the park. Well I survived, thanks to the great anti-social device.. we also call -MP3 player-. We then continued, and drove (dragged at times) our bikes to the mountain meadow Konjščica (1450m). There we had some snacks and quickly took off, since the cows were eagerly exploring the possibility of eating our bikes. Then, about 45 minutes of pure descent and pleasure to lake Bohinj and then home. To conclude, I don't know who was more tired and beaten.. me or my bike?
