Living in the mountains, I need good tyres. Testing the latest ones from Pirelli was intersting, as they were new to me. The Pirelli MTB range is born from Pirelli’s experience and know how in the world of off-road competitions. Let’s see how they do…
For me, Whinlatter was like a playground. I had so much fun on the muddy and rocky trails and riding straight into puddles. The Orange Four bike made it easier for me to enjoy the trails.
Paltinis is the centre of mountain biking history in Transylvania, and the trails of TRIADA are an epic way to take on the challenge of these epic mountains
Paltinis is the oldest and best mountain resort in Romania and Transylvania. The forest trails around Paltinis are epic, and you can ride for days on some of the best mountain bike trails in Europe. This route, taken from the Triada mtb events, is a classic, and great introduction to the best mtb trails in Romania

Setting off from our hotel with a larger peloton, today was to be a day of twisting roads, climbing and history, as we took a long flat road towards the rising countryside of Hungary and the magnificent Balaton area, filled with culture
Arriving at the airport, the first thing I saw was a large sign saying #helloHungary. Speaking to Tamas, this is a drive by Hungary to promote tourism, of which cycling is a key part.
The Cindrel Peak mountain bike route in Romania is an absolute classic. Starting from Paltinis, the oldest and best mountain resort in Romania, it takes you along epic forested trails, onto the higher plateau of these awesome and breath-taking mountains. Huge thanks to Larisa Chinces for this classic mtb route
The Transalpina is one of the most spectacular road climbs in the Carpathian Mountains and should be on every cyclists trip to Transylvania
I’ve cycled this route now several times, raced up it and sped down it. I’ve spent time in these mountains and they hold my heart, with their beauty. I know that you’ll love this road too – so lets go and climb it!
