Munţii Baiului is a ridge in the Carpathians just 1,5 hours away from Bucharest. This September morning was offering 16 degrees already at 9 o’clock in the morning (at 650 meters elevation) and this was the ride (50km, 1450 meters of climb) First part of the climb was on an almost washed away road […]
Short one this time; checking out the area for future rides. 2,5 hours and 1000 meters of climb. I start on a dirt road. It gets ridiculously steep at once and I have to push for a while. It’s 27 degrees and very dry. The new shoes don’t look new at all… After quite […]
My friend Micke came over for some biking and we kind of copied Johann Müehlegg’s set-up from Salt Lake City 2002 – well not the steroid part obviously, but: “Open hard and then increase!” We just got back from 6 days of awesome biking in different mountains in Southeast Europe. The temperature in Bucharest […]
This time the base is Brașov, some three hours away from Bucharest. The city is a bit of a hub for the different sports you can do in the mountains. To maximize the biking in two days I used a guide from Mtbtours: Horia. Another guy from Bucharest that I didn’t know had the […]

Some time things just turn our so damn good when you combine a classic family trip with some bike riding in a new place! I had the bike on the car rack when going to the ”biggest tourist attraction in Dalsland” for a couple of days. So, what is it – the tourist attraction? […]
In order to maximize a week of sun and swimming we booked us and the kids in a Sunwing resort in Crete. Charter as it is. Everything is supposed to happen inside the walls of the resort. Sure, the kids are having fun, but… out there, outside the walls is the real Greece with […]
