So damn good! – Băneasa, Romania

Posted on March 15, 2014January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  A bit of non-Swedish statement, but that how it is! The birds are tweeting and I got to borrow a 29 inch carbon HT while the babysitter makes it possible to go together with my wife. So damn good! To cut it short… I’m thinking of adding another bike next to my sofa-style-of bikes […]

Spring in January – Pucioasa, Romania

Posted on January 11, 2014January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 […]

While waiting for snow – Pucioasa, Romania

Posted on December 15, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 […]

Not like Sven – Băneasa, Romania

Posted on December 7, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 – […]

Posted on November 23, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 […]

Customer meeting – Oradea, Romania

Posted on November 12, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 […]

Fog burning off – Cernica, Romania

Posted on November 10, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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. […]

While the family sleeps – Road trip in Romania

Posted on August 8, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 […]

Fear of the dark – Carpathians, Romania

Posted on July 12, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

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) […]

Just an ordinary Monday – Munții Bucegi, Romania

Posted on June 24, 2013January 6, 2023 By siggestar

  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 […]
