Santa came early this year for mtbtours.ro. It was mid-October when we had the joy and the privilege to organize a tour for a select group of French bikers. A fair deal: I showed them the wonderful trails around Brașov, they showed me what one can do with a bike. All in all a cross-country, all-mountain and enduro experience in the very pleasant company of five joyful mountain bikers.
I saw what Pierre Geo Plantet was able to do during some XC competition during the summer, when he finished second as a guest participant at the Romanian National MTB XC Championship. François Bailly-Maitre was introduced as an “enduro world class specialist”, and so it proved to be :-). Edouard and François were lacking the competitive pedigree, but there was no shortage of biking skills about them. Last but not least, Morvane was the least experienced mountain biker, having only three years of history under her belt, but she was a brave and resilient competitor in the group.
We started full power form the first day, with 60km, 2000m uphill and 2600m dowhnill on the Postăvaru trails in the outskirts of Brașov city. Yeah, we cheated a little bit and took the cable car to enjoy one of the most famous mtb single trails in Romania.
