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 […]

Mountains are big, bikes are small – Bucegi, Romania
Back in Bucegi with Cosmin. Probably the last ride up here in a long time… Just pictures this time…
On a high – Bucegi & Piatra Craiului, Romania
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 […]
Sälfjället – Lindvallen, Sweden
Well… same place as last post, but this time without lifts and on lighter bikes. No specific plan for were to go but in this weather we reckon that pretty much any trail will be good As a reminder of the winter season, patches of snow still glow in the sun in what is […]
Sälen Bikepark – Lindvallen, Sweden
It’s family vacation with Downhill on the agenda and I was not part of setting it up (!). We are talking Sälen, Sweden. This is the place where Swedish kids learn skiing and everybody has been. I haven’t… It’s right here: I have to confess that I was a bit nervous getting into bike […]
Mountain of Bears – Zagreb, Croatia
People in Zagreb are spoiled. They have the mountain of bears – Medvednica – sitting right behind the city center. Get on your bike and you hit the hills right away! I checked in at Labogoda (www.lobagola.com), highly recommended! Dubravko is the owner and an extremely service minded person that will make sure you get […]
Tongue twisting – Balaton, Hungary
Having been neighbor with Hungary for 4,5 years, it’s strange I haven’t been biking here yet, but finally the opportunity came with a business meeting booked at the Balaton lake. When anyway doing the 1000km’s from Bucharest, why not bring the bike? If Ohrid is the Riviera of the land locked Macedonia, Balaton is […]
Planets Aligned – Black Sea Coast, Romania
The Black Sea Coast is only 2 hours away from Bucharest. The setup this time was a surprise trip to meet up with friends and celebrate my birthday, planned by my dear wifi. Normally it’s sunny during the days and maybe some rain during the night but this time we got to witness quite […]
An epic day – Iezer, Romania
Most people talk very positive about where they come from, so does my friend Razvan. He has always been keen on showing why his home town Câmpulung is such a fantastic place for biking. For some reason it took me 4 years to finally discover it and I’m glad I finally did! It’s a […]
Never Enver land – Himarë, Albania
Albania. The nature is breathtaking, the people friendly and the food incredibly delicious. I can tell you already now that I will go back! As this was mainly a family vacation I only got to do one bike ride in the South but let me just share some pics from some places in the […]
