Oh is it good being back in Romania! We’re in Razvans place in Câmpulung. Nicely decorated as always Razvan has arranged two Cube Stereo ebikes.

Back in Romania – a road trip
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 […]
Instead of a coffee – Postăvarul, Romania
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 […]
As good as it gets – Bucegi, Romania
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 […]

Out on a limb – The Danube Delta, Romania
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 We had checked bikemap but hadn’t learnt from previous experience where the rides where totally outdated.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.

Epic exploring – Buila Vânturarița, Romania
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 […]
