Sibiu Cycling Tour & Transfargarasan Challenge

It’s a special place, my beautiful city of Sibiu.

ELITE Direto XR Trainer – Getting ready for indoor riding

It’s now October and the weather has turned cold. The rain is here more often, and soon it will snow. There is already snow in the mountains, and so I am starting to sweat more indoors from now on.
