It’s been a long time since the good old travel case has been used. Packing your bike is normally a fantastic feeling – thinking of the great time with friends and mountains that lay ahead of you. This time though, it was with mixed feelings. The heat wave was announced to be replaced by very […]
While passing through Brașov on my way from Oradea to Bucharest I took the opportunity to meet up with Horia. Horia was my gateway to the mountains in Romania. We met back in June 2012 when he guided me around for the first time: link. And since then it’s been many rides. If you ever […]
October might be the best month for the Bucegi mountains and the forecast is showing us what we want – sunshine and some + degrees after a cold night. Ready to go! The regular gondola is not in service so we take the car all the way up to Piatra Arsa at approx 1900 […]
Back in Bucharest after the Black Sea escape. And why not go for a classic Băneasa ride – now with Cosmin and Dragoș. Off we go And maybe even more classic… the after bike… with the rest of the crew showing up
This turned out to be one of those real adventure days. We had checked bikemap but hadn’t learnt from previous experience where the rides where totally outdated. Anyway. We took the car to Vadu and waited for Ștefan to finish off some work mails. I’m sure they did something important in that old factory back […]
What a day! After some intense days in South Korea I land in Bucharest in the morning. Cosmin picks me up. We fix some stuff and meet up with Ștefan and start driving to the Black Sea. After some lunch and beers we get ready for a cruise on the mountain bikes – adapted to […]

Bogdan reached out and asked if I’d be interested in exploring Buila Vânturarița. I instinctively answered yes without knowing what, where, how much or anything else. He was clear on the fact that it was for exploring and not ridden by the crew before. Well, exploring it was… with all its beauty; the joy […]
Back in Bucegi with Cosmin. Probably the last ride up here in a long time… Just pictures this time…
Feels like on a high. 6 days in the mountains. First some days with the bike team and then 4 days sharing favorite trails and discovering new ones with Ștefan. 8.000 meters up and 10.000 meters down. 200km of riding. We covered the “good old” Bucegi and Piatra Craiului. Due to some virus I […]
