Going back from finish to your car
There are few options for going back to start.
By bus: there is a bus station in Karlobag and every 15 minutes there is one passing through and going to Senj. The only problem is if they will accept bikes. Contact me and I will investigate for you.
By bike over Karlobag: once in Karlobag follow the local road towards Senj. In Senj follow the signs for highway (or Žuta lokva). After 15 km you will reach notch Vratnik.The only problem is a heavy traffic along this road. Distance from Karlobag to start is about 78 km.
By bike over Gospić: once in Dabarski kukovi (at the very end of the bike route) follow the signs to Hotel Velebno. From there follow the local road towards Gospić. From Gospić you can follow local roads to Otočac and Žuta lokva. In Žuta lokva follow the road to Senj. After 10 km you will reach notch Vratnik. Distance from Dabarski kukovi to start is about 100 km.
The best way: if coming to start with more than one car leave one there and someone not biking the route drives to Karlobag. There he picks up all bikers or only drivers who then go to pick up other cars. Use the local road from Karlobag to Senj.
