Mountain Biking in Carpathians

Few days ago, part of the Outdoor Holidays' team went mountain-biking in Baiului Mountains, South of Romanian Carpathians, only 100 km away from Bucharest. Going on the ridge of Baiului Mountains can be done either by the ski lift or by pushing the bikes uphill for about one - one and a half hours. This time, due to time limitations, our team preferred the easy way. The path is an easy one, suitable for beginning mountain-biking.

Here are some pictures:


Baiului Mountains
have a king of large path on and just under the ridge, so for an easy Mountain-Biking this is just perfect . The weather was just perfect, and the few clouds that we can see are just great to make pictures nicer :)







Cornel, on the ridge of Baiului Mountains. Hitchhiking ?I'm afraid nobody will stop :)

Andrei, trying to impress ? Well done, anyway.


Everybody enjoyed the mountain biking and descent safe in Secăria Village in the South-most point of Baiului. From here the alternatives are going to Prahova Valley and picking the car or taking the train, either to Teleajen Valley and continue the tour or take a bus.


And a very short movie:
