SHORT RIDE TO VÂLCELE

On 22.01.2009 I went to Vâlcele. The weather was too warm. The snow was going away, so I didn't go off-road because of the mud. I took my Merida Crossway, put the bike bags on it and went on the road.

Man, I hate the road on this time of the year!

It was dry, but dusty. When a car was passing by, you felt the salty dust in your mouth.

At Vâlcele I filled my bottles from the spring with mineral water. I put on the bike 9 liter. It is enough for my family for a week.

The end of the year (31.12.2008) find us again on bikes. We went to Sugaş Băi resort, then Benkő Spring-Shadow Creek-Valea Crisului-home.

It was a very sunny, but cold day. We didn't see anybody else, just birds and wilderness.

It was silence everywhere.........

We did about 40 km, most of our trip off-road.

ST. ANA LAKE

On 14.12.2008 I went with Edy and Tibi to the St. Ana Lake. You can find the lake in a volcanic crater, near the Băile Tuşnad resort. It is unique in this part of Europe. We are lucky to have it so close to us! It's about 50 km away from Sf. Gheorghe. Because of the weather we went with the car to Bixad. In Bixad the road was clean, but when we climbed up the mountain the snow become thicker and thicker. So we did off-road only on the ice of the lake. For me this was for the first time when I was riding on the ice of the St. Ana Lake. We were playing like little kids.
