BH-CV-BH (2007)

It was the biggest trip of my life so far. I thought it would be nice to write about it, even if 4 years passed till then.   It was 2007 April, and i had my "First Bike"(brand) literary, knew a few things about touring on bike. I never had a mountain bike, just enjoyed the fact that i was able to buy myself a ride(100euros). I had  a friend, who had this brainy idea to go home from Oradea to Saint George on a bike on the E60 route. Well, i wasn't thinking too much, said yes. I've never done a route longer then 20 km's before, so i had no preparation for a trip like this. I don't wan't to write about our bicycles cause both of them were two cheap *&$*%$its. The most expensive part on my bike was a 2004 Judy TT fork, and Shimano Acera rear gears hifter. Our equipment was also equal with zero, a helmet and some crappy gloves, no spd's, no bikeshorts, nothing. Before the trip we did a practice run, to Alesd and back to Oradea, all about 80 km's. I thought, that was easy and that i can handle the 466 km's till home. Yeah, sure, three "Tour de France" stages at one try, no problem. Well, we did it in 39 hours, and 42 hours back, in one week. We had a 1,5 hour(MS) sleep on the homeway(and a  half hour sleep somewhere near the E60 route) and a 5 hour(CJ) sleep on the way back to Oradea. I have nothing interesting to tell about the trip, we stopped a few times to eat, to rest, to make pictures, we had many ups and downs, i lost the senses in 3 of my fingers, walked funny for a week, Pete, my friend could not open a pet bottle for about year as he lost the strength in one hand. Back then it was fun, today i wouldn't try it again, as the E60 route is a killer with that heavy traffic. Thanks Pete for draggin' me into the trip, it was a lot of fun.

Eletem legnagyobb turaja volt eddig. Ugy veltem jo lenne beszamolni rola, bar eltelt azota mar 4 ev. 2007 aprilisa volt, elso montim, egy "First Bike"(gyarto) volt akkor, keveset tudtam a bringa-turazasrol. Soha nem volt addig montim, egyszeruen orvendtem hogy megengedhettem magamnak egy 100 euros bicajt. Peti baratomnak volt az az agyafurt otlete: menjunk haza kerekparon Nagyvaradrol Sepsiszentgyorgyig az E60-on. Nem toprengtem sokaig, igent mondtam. Addig soha nem tekertem tobbet 20 kilometernel, igy nem volt felkeszultsegem egy ilyen turara. Nem akarom ecsetelni a bringainkat, allapotaikat, mindketto olcso izee volt. A legdragabb alkatresz az enyemen egy 2004-es Judy TT volt meg egy Shimano Acera hatso valto. Felszereltsegunk is gyatra volt., csak sisak, gagyi kesztyuk, semmi SPD, sem bringanadrag., semmi. Az utazas elott eltekertunk Elesdig es vissza Varadra, 80 km volt az egesz. Konnyunek tunt es ugy gondoltam, boldogulni fogok a 466 km soran hazaig. Na persze! 3 "Tour de France" futam egy nekirohanasbol, semmi gond. Vegulis veghez vittuk, 39 ora alatt hazertunk vissza fele pedig 42 orat csinaltunk(1 het leforgasa alatt). Arrafele aludtunk masfel orat Maroson,  meg egy felorat valahol az E60-as ut mellett, visszafele pedig aludtunk vagy 5-t Kolozsvaron. Semmi erdekes nincs amit megoszthatnek, meg-megalltunk, enni, pihenni, fotozni, megvoltak az magas es melypontjaink. 3 ujjamban elvesztettem az erzest, es furcsan jartam egy hetig. Peti majdnem egy evig nem tudott kinyitani egy szodas flakont. Akkor poenos volt, de ma nem tennem meg hisz az E60-ason gyilkos a forgalom. Megegyszer koszi Peti hogy ravettel a turara, mokas volt.

A fost tura vietii mele pana azi. M-am gandit sa scriu cateva cuvine despre, chiar daca au trecut 4 ani de atunci. A fost in aprilie 2007. Am avut prima mea ("First Bike") bicicleta de tip mtb, stiam foarte putin despre ture pe bicicleta. N-am avut un mtb pana atunci, deci ma bucuram ca mi-am putut permite sa iau una cu 100 de euro. Prietenul meu Peti a avut ideea asta geniala sa mergem acasa din Oradea pana la Sfantu Gheorghe. Nu prea am stat pe gandrui si am zis da. Inainte n-am pedalat mai mult de 20 de km, deci n-am avut pregatire ptr o tura asa de lunga. Nu vreau sa descriu bitele respective dar ambele erau ieftine. Pe a mea, cea mai scumpa piesa a fost furca Judy TT din 2004 si schimbatorul Shimano Acera. Echipamentul tot varza era, am avut casti, ceva manusi, in resti nici SPD-uri, nici pantaloni speciale, nimic. Inainte de tura am pedalat pana la Alesd si inapoi, in total 80 de kilometri. Mi-a parut usor, m-am gandit ca o sa ma descurc pe distanta de 466 de km pana acasa. Daa, cum sa nu! 3 etape de "Tour de France" dintr-o incercare, nici o problema.Pana la urma am reusit, 39 de ore pana acasa si 42 inapoi(intr-o saptamana). Spre acasa am dormit o ora si jumate la Tg. Mures si jumat de ora undeva pe langa drumul  E60, iar inapoi am dormit 5 ore la Cluj. N-am nimic interesant de impartasit despre tura, ne-am oprit de cateva ori sa mancam sa ne odihnim, sa facem poze, am avut si momentele noastre bune si nebune(susuri, josuri), eu mi-am pierdut simtul in 3 degete si m-am plimbat ciudat timp de o saptamana, iar Peti n-a putut sa deschide timp de un an flacoane pet. Atunci totul parea foarte nostim dar astazi n-as mai face tura din cauza traficului de pe E60. Incaodata mersi Peti ptr ca m-ai tras in aventura asta.
