No matter how you look at it, a maximal altitude of 300 m makes Lithuania a flat country. A type of terrain that is suitable for cross-country mountain biking, with relatively short and frequent ups and downs. No place for long, consistent, technical uphills or downhills. Nothing “epic”, speaking in mountain biking terms.
Was Tadas, from Vilnius, aware of what he was asking when inquring about an expert level mtb tour in the Carpathian mountains surrounding Brașov city? Most likely not. But the group seemed quite determined, a bunch of young people used to the difficulties of endurance competitions back home. So why not? Here we were, then, ready to hit the Transylvanian high trails at mid September with Ausrine, Karolis, Aurimas and Tadas, anxious to ride along the 2000m+ mountain crests and peaks.
