Tour de Friends - Central Poland bikepack

Post by Dusza »

The weather outside isn't exactly encouraging me to go out and play so I had some time to go through the pics from my September trip around homeland. I tried to stay of tarmac as much a possible and it was the first time I managed to cycle 200 km on one day, yay!
I hope you'll enjoy it, I did :)

Dusza ... can you remember what bar ends you've got fitted to the centre of your bars?
May the bridges you burn light your way

Stu, sorry they are too long in the family - bought ages ago by my father. Nothing fancy though.

These look VERY similar to mine.

That looks fantastic.. are all the pics from one trip? There's a great mix of terrain. We all seem to daydream about the usual Alpine destinations but the Tatras have always interested me.

Jameso, thanks. All pics are from the same trip - the riding days were a bit spread out since I was partially staying at my friends' a couple of days each.
Beskidy are much smaller mountains than Tatras. The latter have a typical alpine feel to them - big, rocky and steep. There are some mtb paths in the Tatras but I'm not sure if you could really connect them into some kind of tour.

Thanks - useful to know. Maybe next year I'll mail you for some tips if that's ok? We rode a route in Spain that wasn't typical MTB-resort trails but it really opened my mind to that kind of tour. Eastern Europe is the next area I'd like to see.
