Having ridden in a number of different countries, I&#8217;m blown away by what Romania has to offer the adventuring cyclist.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been looking forward to this trip for months, and now that I&#8217;m finally here, I&#8217;m having an even better time than I would have imagined. In just a few days, we&#8217;ve already experienced some truly great biking, both on and off-road, awesome camping, fun urban riding, wonderful food, and incredibly warm and friendly people.<\/p>\n<p>That fact alone easily makes up for the intense 90+ degree temps, nose clogging dust, language barriers and the occasional route finding glitches we&#8217;ve endured so far. The Romanian people are some of the nicest, friendliest folks I&#8217;ve ever met during my travel to different parts of the world, and despite the stories and warming I&#8217;d heard about safety over here, I have yet to feel anything but safe and comfortable, even in the big city of Bucharest.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m amassing stories, which I&#8217;ll share at a later date, but here are a few photos to bring you in on the adventure.
