Beats me. The weather… It is supposed to be winter and snow by now. But ok… let’s pretend it’s spring. The family is enjoying 17 degrees in the garden while I go to the mountains. Fair enough, we had frost during the nights, men 11 degrees at 300 meters elevation in January??? Today’s ride […]
So, the idea was to go skiing but while waiting for the snow I grab the opportunity to go biking in the mountains. 0 degrees and fog. Not so inspiring in Bucharest But after an hour and half a lot better. I team up with Catalin and Ionuț. Quality gloves 😉 Nice combo of […]
Back home in Sweden the storm Sven took down a lot of trees and damaged property. Here it’s not like Sven at all. In fact not very Sven-ish or “svennigt” as we say in Sweden either. The most common second name in Sweden is Svensson, so anything that is very Swedish is Sven-isch – […]
Since a couple of weeks back the temperature has gone down and the air is crispy like in the winter. I was up the mountains last weekend and though it was the last trip without snow, but apparently not…In spite of fog and rain down in the city I left the city for a […]
This week I did ridiculously many hours in the car to meet customers in the country. And as one of them is a biker too we’ve developed a friendship beyond daily business. So good to be in Oradea and so good to be biking with Sebi We start playing around in a deserted military […]
In spite of thick fog this morning I just felt so much for biking and with 16 degrees it just should be good. And it was. As it turned out the fog burned off and we got to see the sun. I met up with Razvan and got going on the bed of leaves. […]
We just did a road trip in the country that we like more and more. Bikes on board for family rides but I did some morning rides on my own also. I left just before sunrise and made it back for breakfast. It added up to three rides: First ride – Masivul Ceahlău, August 8 […]
In spite of a whole week among vampires and bears in Transylvania and repeated forecasts of dark clouds and rain there was no ”fear” and no ”dark” until the whole biking adventure was over. But by then we had it all! We rode in different places in the Transylvanian Alps (the prolongation of the Carpathians) […]
Well, maybe not so ordinary… National holiday in fact and a good reason for going to the mountains with your friends Cable car to 2200: The weather was typically unstable and suddenly we had heavy rain but with the perfect timing of just reaching this small hut for cover. A chill for two hours […]
Prima Evadare – “the first escape” – takes place every spring. It’s a flat non-technical MTB race from Bucharest to Snagov, where Ceaușescu had a summer house by the way. It is some 55km and more than 2000 participants last year. There is more to read at www.primaevadare.ro This year the race is May […]
