Endurance training means fueling over many hours, not just one hard effort.
Proteini.si gives me options I can actually rotate — especially their ENERGY+ line during long rides.
Simple nutrition that’s easy to carry, easy to digest, and easy to stick with.
Grateful to have support that keeps me moving in the gym or on the bike.
Nobody rides 3,000km alone.
This project exists because a handful of people and brands decided to believe in it before it was finished — or even properly started. Some came in as official partners. Some handed me gear and said “go.” All of them made the difference between a plan on a spreadsheet and a bike actually heading north.
This page is for them.

Endurance training isn’t one hard effort — it’s hours, day after day, and fueling it properly is half the work. Proteini.si has been in my corner for this entire project, which means their ENERGY+ line has been in my jersey pockets across a lot of cold, long training rides that nobody photographed.
Simple to carry. Easy to digest. Actually works when you’re three hours in and your body is starting to negotiate. I’m genuinely grateful for the support — and for nutrition I trust enough to take all the way to Norway.

These are the brands I believe in and that showed up for this ride — with great advive, gear, support, and a genuine “we’re rooting for you.”
When you’re on a bike for six, eight, ten hours a day, your shoes are not a small detail. Zuatu’s carbon shoes fit my feet without pressure points or second thoughts, which sounds simple and is actually everything. No distractions from the pedals. No problems I had to solve mid-ride. Just reliable contact with the bike, for as many hours as the day requires.
Thank you for the trust — and the fit.
I spend a lot of time on the bike, so comfort matters more than looks — even though the colors help on grey days.
Holokolo and their Rivanelle line is fun, the bibs are genuinely comfortable, and I like that there’s a setup for every season.
That kind of comfort makes long days easier.
L’Etape Slovenia was my first race ever. It gave me something no piece of gear can — confidence on my bike as well as great community.
Thank you for being part of the preparation, not just the story.
Cycling shoes are a big deal when you’re on the bike for hours.
Zuatu carbon shoes fit my feet perfectly, which is something I don’t take for granted.
No pressure points, no distractions — just a solid, stable feel on the pedals.
Very thankful to ride in shoes I trust on long training days.

Want to Support the Ride?
The sponsors and friends above have made this project possible in ways I couldn’t have planned for. But the road is long, and individual support from the people following along means just as much.
If you want to contribute to the journey – a coffee on the road – Ko-fi is where to do it.
50% of every contribution will be donated to Zavetišče za živali Maribor. The other 50% goes directly into the ride: food, shelter, the unexpected costs.
