The valley Viñales holds a Unesco World Heritage status embracing the limestone outcrops – the Mogotes. Traditional villages and farms together with tobacco fields make the whole scenery something very special. Eager to discover some of the valley from the saddle I head down to the village with the boys And if you haven’t been […]
Another around-the-corner-discovery… I figured I bring the bike to Kungsbacka while the kids play tennis. Such a great idea while still in total denial mode of the increasing pain in the elbow after hitting all those stairs at Tjolöholm. I cross Varlaskogen going to the BMX track. No competitions today… I get it all to […]
It didn’t take us long to be back – not even a week. This time we doubled the crew as Mikael and Kristian joined too. Kristian gets some extra air into the shock and we get going Well… more of us need to pump more air into the shock… Happy riders today Mikael has been […]
Tjolöholm castle – or rather country house – is only a short car ride away but forgotten. Until now… Early morning, but with a star breakfast 🙂 Bikes on the car and we get there early; myself and Janne There are plenty of trails to explore and we use the early morning to discover the areas […]
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 We had checked bikemap but hadn’t learnt from previous experience where the rides where totally outdated.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 […]
The extremely dry weather is over and rain showers are coming in dramatic shapes. It’s time. It’s some months since the last time on MTB and the elbow feels ok. I get back on the MTB. It feels totally awkward after all the hours on the road bike. But also right Buuuuuuut. It doesn’t fly. […]
