We rode this weekend the trails of Postăvaru and Piatra Craiului, and it was great fun. We were also able to dodge some of the terrible heat of this Mediterranean summer by staying under the trees for as much as possible. And as an extra-bonus, an unexpected but quite thrilling photo shooting with a Swedish… Read more »

Mountain biking photo session
Empty single trails
I recently spoke with a German mountain biker who told me that it is very difficult for them to find empty trails on their hills, forests, mountains. All the tracks are filled with trekkers, hikers, and, of course, mountain bikers. He also complained about their single trails being “over prepared”, meaning that every single little… Read more »

Testing the Go Pro HD Hero2
A sunny and frozen ski touring day in Postăvaru Mountain.

More recently, a friend of ours tried his… Read more »
Training for Iron Bike Oradea 2011

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 »
