After 6 years of participating in Race around Slovenia in solo division and I believe it is time for some change. I will do this year's RAS as a part of 2-person team with one of my longtime friends Iztok Melansek. This decision was in fact made a pretty long time ago, but we kind of kept it secret so the competition wouldn't find out about the threat they are facing... ;)

With Iztok at a short weekend preparation camp:

To help raise the needed budget for RAAM 2013, we are selling Marko's Fan Club RAAM 2013 T-shirts. During RAAM you can show your support for Marko by wearing one. The price is 20 EUR + shipping cost. Orders here or on Marko's e-mail marko.baloh(at)gmail.com.

The first plan of preparation for assault on victory at RAAM 2013 included the preparation race in Florida, the Sebring 24h Cycling race, which I had to cancel due to budget limitations.
