Who would have thought that in the middle of July we would get rained on six days out of six! We had one day of nice weather, and that was on a Saturday, when we had to take a break, because our group was from Israel. Other then that, we were under constant rain. During… Read more »

Every Road Leads to… Crinţ
The ride up to Crint, near Sibiu, is a classic, we’ve been doing it for four or five years now – ever since my parents bought a small patch of land in the area, and we slowly started making a summer holiday place out of it. So, whenever there’s a free weekend, we go to… Read more »

On The Cindrel Peak
Posting some photos from a tour to Cindrel Peak, with Mihai and Christi, in 2008. From Paltinis we took the ridge till the Cindrel peak and got back via a different route. Not sure how eager we are do the same ride again, as, while going up was OK, going down the trail was not… Read more »
The Middle of Summer in Bucegi
Keeping it short, our ride took us to 2000m, in the close vicinity of the Omu Peak. On the way down we got a surprise visit by brother bear, which probably made us reach Sinaia quicker then usual. The riders: Laura, Mihai, another Mihai, Christi and yours truly.
