We prepared for the trip to the 5th Indian Riders Meeting in Romania. Breakfast was yam and sauce; Yam and egg and tea, coffee and chocolate drink.
Once we had eaten, and everyone was set, we were road bound and set off at about 8 am. Our route was to ride from Bucharest to Transfăgărășan
Heading from Bucharest to Curtea de Argeș was quite tricky as we were more often than not rolling on roads which were under construction, “it seems Romania is one big construction yard lot of roads being constructed or revamped”. We hit Pitești in an hour and went on a merry go round cos road works neant roads were closed and we had to find alternative routes.
Journey took us through to the Iife
In looking for alternative routes, as a sharp guy, i left my visor open lo and behold my first fly in the helmet experience when on the highway. Its a not a funny something o, I was perturbed and almost overwhelmed with the buzzing in the helmet and had to make an emergency stop to save myself.
Of course my guardians were there to sort me out FD and Maestro. Once i sorted out the helmet we rolled off and caught up with the others “they had waited further on” and we continued out of Curtea de Argeș through to Pitești (nice breezy and fun ride).
The rest of the journey through to Transfăgărășan was cool. Lucky for us traffic was light and we made very good time. We ended the journey at the Cârțișoara with thanks to the Almighty for journey mercies
There was a point where i was overtaking a trailer on the rather rough side of the rode and right there the road suddenly went rougher, wetin man wan do na, so you increase your speed get past the trailer and bring your bike onto the road .
