Today I was a photo-witness at the Cetatea Braşovului Duathlon. All the photos where taken on a descent section, just after Poiana Stechil – therefore only the participants to the pro race are featuring. The mountainbiking part of the duathlon is really tough, some say it is the most difficult racing trail in Romania. It… Read more »

Training for Iron Bike Oradea 2011
“Must have been tough on that bike, wouldn’t it have been better had I given you a scythe to help me?” The man was sharpening his scythe in a field on the outskirts of the Magura village, near the cart road that goes up from Moeciu de Jos. The afternoon was hot, the man was… Read more »

Sighişoara, easy does it
Finally, summer is here! After a rainy and very cold June, the sun eventually came out, and the weather warmed up. And so, during the first true summer weekend of this year, we went to Sighisoara for a family reunion. As always, the bikes came along for the fun. Which meant that while the rest… Read more »

And since Horia and I are not very passionate about the all inclusive deal, we decided to break ranks and take the bikes along. So Horia consulted with his buddy, Google Maps is his name,… Read more »
Baiului Ridge, Posada-Azuga
I’ve been planning this ride for years now: the ridge road in Baiului Mountains, from South to North. Some years ago I went on the ridge from Zamora to Azuga, a ride which I’ve kept on doing over time. And every time I kept hoping to do more. Finally it looked like the time was… 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 »
