The dirt roads of Sithonia
If the Romanian mountains are filled with sheep, rural Greece is the land of the goats. Both are generously equipped with equally noisy dogs, always angered by cyclists roaming around their premises. Their barking needs no Romanian (nor Greek) translation. However, this shouldn’t prevent people from cycling into the wilderness, enjoying the nature, the sun,… Read more »
Ski good or eat wood
So what do we do when the snow keeps us from cycling up to Poiana Braşov? We go on skis – and then descend through the deep forest. I recently saw ”All.I.Can” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1zc2Mwz_bg). Amazing footage: helicopter shots, super slow-motions, time-lapse sequences, incredible scenery and outstanding skiing. It’s like watching a 90 minutes video commercial. Still,… Read more »

Ski touring in Cindrel
Snow was scarce this winter. Some did fall, but not enough. We only got a few days of good skiing in Poiana Brasov in March. That was it. Then, spring came, and with it the snow. Lots of it, but not the lasting kind… Before it melted all away, we got to enjoy a nice… Read more »
Camera, action!
Nice weather for biking around Piatra Craiului. Sunny enough, without it being too warm. In the shade it was a bit nippy though. I took the opportunity to test my new 5D mark II camera, which I’ve been coveting for a while, but could not afford. Some unfortunate incidents forced me to afford it and… Read more »
