Yesterday we went mountain biking from Cota 1400 in Sinaia to Poiana Stanii and then all the way down to the park downtown.
It was extremely fun.
Besides
getting reacquainted with biking I learned a lot about the logistics of
the thing. This is really a team sport, not just because it's good to
have someone with you, considering all the risks of injury, but also
because where you don't have one-way means of transportation (e.g.
bike-capable cable cars) you need accompanying vehicles to take the
bikes to the starting point, to get the cars back at the end and so on.
The new complex in Poiana Stanii is great. We only spent about an hour
there but the owner gave us a tour of the facilities. If you won't be
impressed by the incredible scenery, then the excellent accomodation
and all the entertainment equipment (ATVs, Hummer, Snowmobiles etc.)
might convince you to give it a try.
As we were heading back up the mountain by car to pick up the
Transporter we encountered a mother bear with two cubs. And guess what
was waiting for us at the top, just a few meters away from the car?
Another very big bear. Glad we didn't run into them earlier, while we
were on our bikes.
