Testing the Go Pro HD Hero2

A sunny and frozen ski touring day in Postăvaru Mountain. The ideal opportunity to study future mountain biking trails, and also to test the recently awarded Go Pro HD Hero 2 video camera (more here). The results were equally encouraging. On one hand a very promising route from Postăvaru down to Poiana Braşov seems to… 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.

Oh che bello, oh che bello!

At the end of a ski touring trip organized by Iulian Cozma in Bucegi in 2009, Mario promised he would soon return to the Carpathians. He kept his word – together with four other friends from Switzerland and Italy, they packed their mountain bikes, hopped on a plane and came to Romania for five days… Read more »

Braşov – Zărneşti in 100 km

Mihai was getting ready for Iron Bike Oradea and needed many kilometers to train. Paul had brought his bike all the way from Cluj and was looking for a ride closer to home. Christi… Read more »
