The Empty Quarter, or “Rub’ al-Khali” is the largest area of continuous sand in the world: 650.000km2. Bigger than France. It’s called the Empty Quarter because it is considered a dead area. No water, sand dunes that big and steep that even camels have a problem crossing the area and with a wind that […]
The weather keeps surprising us with temperatures around 20 degrees during midday this late in November. It’s hard to not go out there and enjoy it and what can be better than bringing your son along. He is only 11 but I figure it’s about time he joins not only me but also my […]
I managed to take a day off with my wife to go to the mountains. We knew that the weather would be good, but not that it would be the best that I have ever experienced in Bucegi – including summer rides. We set off in Bucegi, catching the Cable car up to 2200 meter […]

My brother is visiting and that’s a good excuse to take a day off in the middle of the week and go to the mountains for some biking. OK, he is not a biker but in good shape so it should work. As so many times before it looks less good looking up the […]
Being happy to be able to do mountain biking again I figured going by car 110km North on Saturday doesn’t stop me from going 110 km South for a solo ride on Sunday. A (too fast) check on Bikemap.net and Google Earth and I had a downloaded GPX-file making it possible to enjoy Rusenski […]
Now take it easy on the football pitch, she said when I paid for the football protection I don’t play football, I responded The broken leg from the freeride skiing the past winter is healing and the doctor has given his go ahead for road biking and I gave the go ahead for gravel […]
