We are also running guiding only programs, if you are keen on solving accommodation and logistics on your own. We have a few fixed dates tours that you can join but we also run them on demand, for specific groups and dates. There's a comprehensive form on the contact page, use it if you want us to help you plan a custom mountain…
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. [singlepic id=515 w=500 h=333 float=right]Which meant that while the rest of our family was suffering from the heat, we took in the breeze on our bikes, around the Saxon villages and citadels of Sighisoara. On Saturday, we went on a 30…
Since I had a free day during the week, I decided to use it by going on a recky I had been planning for a long time, but hoped I would not have to do by myself – you never know when something on the bike breaks, and you are in the middle of nowhere with no one to help you. And so, I convinced Mihai of Medias to join me in this ride from Brasov to Busteni (the initial track was to Sinaia, but we were cut short by…
It was in August 2010 when Robbie, Steve and I went biking in Bucegi, up to Poiana Gutanu and down to Simon village. The following day we were supposed to hit the trails in Piatra Craiului, but the weather had other plans for us. One delay after another, and it was May 2011 when we were finally able to finish our tour. This time in a bigger group, with Andreea, Lenuta and Mihai joining us.

This year, our mountain biking season started in Bulgaria! My parents took us to the Golden Sands for Easter break. 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, and drew two tracks through the Golden Sands reservation and the hills surrounding it. We planned to nice little rides, to kick start the season: some 35 km during the first day (with 1,000 m…
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 right. Iulian was eager to try a mountain biking tour, Christi was also looking forward to it and so both of them were on board. Iulian also got Soso and Bubulu to join in the…
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 very bike friendly and we had to carry our stuff for quite some time. The landscape was really nice though, as you can see from the pictures. [nggallery id=2]
