Hey, thanks for the route and the heads-up, looks pretty cool... didn't know about that site, it's super easy to map things out when it automatically snaps everything to the roads.

Anyway, looking at your path, I could easily link it up with Oakland (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3834219) but I don't get how you connected Gustelnica to Kozjača on your route (km 24 to 26).

No biggie, I'll hit you up once I actually decide to try this. I'm a total newbie, so if you've been riding forever, I might just end up slowing you down. 🙂

Yeah, I was definitely thinking about the ferry (hit Medsave then head to Vrbovec Samoborski) because I don't think there's any other way to get from Oakland to that area.

The route you described looks pretty much like what I sketched out on Google Earth, but honestly, I'm not sure if it's actually doable. A few times I've been surprised to find a "road" on the map is actually just some dirt track swallowed by 12 inches of mud... depending on the resolution, it’s hard to tell a real road apart from junk sometimes.

Anyway, I assume all those spots you mentioned are connected by actual roads? Thanks, I'll try to map out a route through them and see how it goes...

I'll have to look into that; I didn't quite catch the route... that part along the embankment, is it a beaten path? If it's just gravel and I have to slow down, I might just stick to the original way for speed. Plus, the old Samoborska looks busier than those tiny towns on the way to Aurora.

nimbletinker36 said:That sounds like more than 37 miles.
Either way, it's a nice route.
Pretty chill, should take a full day.
I'm actually from Aurora, so if you need anything, just ask.🙂

Awesome, thanks! 🙂 I'll study the route on Google Maps and let you know... 37 miles one way is exactly what I had planned.

Know any other good paths around Aurora? Or maybe around Oakland since you know the ferry situation too... 🙂

Anyone know a decent cycling route from Oakland to Aurora?

I really want to bypass New York City and stay away from heavy traffic roads (like Av. Bolonje, Buzin, veligorički cesta, etc.).

I was checking out a path through Boulder, Stupnik, Brezovica, Čeh, Mlaka... something like that. It looks like about 60km, which is fine, but I can't tell if the route is actually doable just looking at Google Earth and Google Maps...
