TransAlpin Bike - Ranca 2011 - from Start to antenna - Classic trail - VIO POV HD

Official blog of TransAlpin Bike: transalpinbike.blogspot.com/
Please visit my site: hdbiking.net, where you can find several nice videos made from my MTB. All shot with VIO POV HD, frame mount.
The Transalpina or DN67C located in the Parâng Mountains group, in the Southern Carpathians of Romania, is one of the most spectacular roads of the Carpathian Mountains. It connects Novaci, south of Parâng Mountains, to Sebeş in the north.

It is said that the road was built under King Carol II and rebuilt during World War II by German troops and it is called The King's Road by the locals. Also a story has it that Nicolae Ceauşescu had the Transfăgărăşan Road (DN7C) built during the communist regime just to surpass the Transalpina.

The road has its highest point at Urdele Pass, where the elevation is 2,145m above sea level. Given the high altitude, the road is closed during the cold months of the year. Works began in 2007 in order to transform this spectacular road into a modern highway (148 km), allowing a rapid transit between Oltenia and Transylvania.
Rânca, a newly developed resort, is located towards the south end of the Transalpina road.

@designextrem , scuze dar am vazut doar acum mesajul tau. Tunelul nu stiu exact unde vine pe traseu, dar e imediat inainte de a da de o cale ferata, cand se iese din padure. E scurt, asa ca nu a trebuit sa avem lanterna la noi. Concursuri sau nu, bicicleta e ceva sanatos si placut! Bafta si tie in toate :)

@SpeleoFranz :) Ma bucur pentru ca ti-a placut mesajul precedent. Mai...eu iubesc mersul pe bicicleta, dar nu am facut niciodata chestii dastea cu concursuri... Nu prea ma tine inima sa urc peste tot cu bicla mea...si oricum nu cred ca e potrivita pentru asa ceva. Imi place faptul ca ai preferat sa traiesti in natura doar pentru a iti implinii visele, si de aceea te respect.

Am vazut o poza pe site....din Predeal cu un tunel de beton. Poti sa-mi explici ce era cu acel tunel? Bafta.

@designextrem, mi-ai dat o mare bucurie cu mesajul tau, iti multumesc mult de tot!!!!!! Sper ca la anul voi putea oferi filmari si mai bune daca voi avea o furca mai "normala" (acum e un cannondale headshok de 55mm). Am pus muzica doar la acest filmulet, si inca unu, ca nu am timp... te poti inregistra pe hdbiking.net si iti voi spune cand apare ceva nou (la anul). Legat de bani, eu am mai calatorit cu trenul + noapte in cort. E mai incomod, dar wild si ieftin. Mersi inc-o data :)

@SpeleoFranz :) Imi place la nebunie sa ma plimb cu bicicleta, dar lipsa banilor....ma face sa tin bicla cu rotile in sus.... Filmul tau mi-a trezit multe amintiri. Imi place foarte mult si peisajul din film si modul in care ai filmat...tot. Esti tare.
