After taking an exhausting few hours of paragliding classes this morning we headed up to Poiana Brasov for a little downhill mountain biking.
It was supposed to be a little but as Mihai described a trail for us that would take us all the way down to Brasov it turned into a two hour down hill mountain biking marathon. It feels like I'd never been mountain biking before. We started right at the top of the first cable car (around 1800 m altitude) and got all the way down into the old center of Brasov (less than 600 m altitude).
The trail was superb, with wide forest roads and narrow footpaths. However, it was definitely more than I could handle considering my level of general fatigue. I took two major falls (resulting in both material and physical damage) and countless "almost" falls. The main thing is that no one took any shortcuts off the "narrow" paths into the "deep" valleys bordering them.
We got down safe and sound and very much looking forward to the next mountain trail.
