We were mountain people before becoming mountain bikers. Being up on the trails is what we are after, and biking is just one of the ways to get up there. We don’t mind if some push bike or carry bike comes in our way, when that is the price one must pay to reach some… Read more »

Moving pictures: single trail mtb in Piatra Craiului
We return with a video production after quite a long pause. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did while riding the trails of Piatra Craiului, filming and editing the piece. There is a quite simple reason why we lagged behind on the video production front: when you go filming, that’s pretty much… Read more »

Last tour for a retiring Lefty Cannondale
Christian had a brand new 27.5 bike lined up for the one-week tour scheduled for July 2015 in Romania, doing our Bucegi Circuit. However, he decided to give his good old Fatty Cannondale a last run for the money. And what a ride it was: the trails of Postavaru Mountain, the single trails up and… Read more »
“Brutal und Total” – five mountains in seven days
“Brutal” and “total” were the most used words by our four guests during our seven-day mountain biking tour across the Carpathians.

We might share a common cultural background (the Latin heritage, the strong French cultural influences in last two centuries) but France seems to be a little too far away from Romania when travelling is the issue.

Searching for the perfect trails
The rainy and muddy summer of 2014 in Romania did not stop us in having a glorious week, biking on the trails around Predeal, climbing the great Strunga Pass from the West Side (the in-famous Strunga descent just became an equally thrilling Strunga climb)
Mtb in Saxon villages area, Transylvania
The blessing of being a mountain biker living in the city of Brașov comes with a price. Mind you, it’s a small one. With so many options of single trail riding in the neighbouring mountains (Postăvaru, Bucegi, Piatra Mare, Piatra Craiului, etc.) you don’t get too many incentives to travel further way looking for new… Read more »
SuperMTB in Romania/Carpathians
If skiing isn’t working in Romania, why not try mountain biking? Global warming wouldn’t be much of a concern, no need for artificial lakes, no leveling up the mountains with bulldozers. Let’s SuperMTB in Romania/Carpathians!
