Velosport 3. tura

Pana la urma am reusit sa-mi fac timp pentru o tura cu colegii mei de la echipa VELOSPORTORADEA. Sambata 28 Mai, eu, Norbi si Zaki  am parcurs tura a 3-a din proiectul "Arii protejate din Bihor", traseul fiind : Oradea → Lăzăreni → Miheleu: Calcare tortoniene → Tinca → Gurbediu: Poiana cu narcise → Cefa: Parc Natural → Rădvani: Colonia de păsări → Oradea. La 10:40 am parasit Oradea spre Felix. Soarele era deja in elementul lui, si ne promitea o zi calda. Dupa prima ora am rezolvat cele 2 urcari ale zilei, dupa care am pedalat intr-un ritm lejer de tura. Pana la comuna Holod a mers totul bine, am gasit si satul Miheleu, doar calcarele tortoniene nu erau prin preajma ori s-au ascuns ca de vazut nu le-am vazut. De aici am luat-o pe un drum forestier spre un sat pe nume Caranzel, un sat care incepe deja din padure, parca ar fi un sat dintr-un film cu fantome. Dupa satul Caranzel am continuat drumul nostru mai departe, fara GPS bazandu-ne pe spusele satenilor. Unii chiar ne-au povestit despre amintirile lor din tinerete, speram ca n-au "feisbuk" la tara. In padure am reusit sa dam de un drum care parea sa nu ne duca nicaieri, totusi am insistat sa pedalam mai departe, si insistenta a dat roade, ajungand pe un drum forestier mai circulat. Ne-am ratacit iar, dar spre norocul nostru am gasit din nou pe cineva sa intrebam de drum si ne-a aratat directia corecta. La Tinca am ajuns dupa un drum cam lung in padure din care am savurat fiecare kilometru. La Tinca ne-am alimentat cu apa de izvor, cu povestile din tinerete ale localnicilor (tanti din Bucuresti) si am reparat si a 3-a pana a lui Zaki pe ziua respectiva. De aici ne-am dus sa vizitam poiana cu narcise - acum fara narcise, dupa care ne-am indreptat spre Parcul natural Cefa. Ceva fenomenal pe langa Oradea, pasari, pesti, capre salbatice si natura in sine, merita vizitat. Aici s-a terminat tura noastra, dupa care ne-am intors spre Oradea. Am avut de parcurs 30 km. La 8 seara am fost in oras si am prins si o furtuna de 10 minute care a fost binevenita pentru ca, oricum eram prea murdar. O sambata nemaipomenita, sa speram ca tura urmatoare o sa fie la fel de reusita.
PS: Pe durata turei am avut sansa sa testez o șa WTB, model Valcon 2011. Cu detalii revin dupa cateva  plimbari.

November riding

Last weekend was just perfect: Oradea's basketball team won in a tight game on saturday, it was nice to cheer for them. Than Sunday i went together with some Velosport riders on a trip to Padis. Unbelievable that in november you could ride in 10-15 C'. Just a fine sunday for riding the bike. Superb, almost speechless. I'll try to gather some thoughts about the trip. We didn't started too early, so the weather was already warm ... for November. We left Oradea at 11 am. After a 1,5 hour trip, we started from Pietroasa. A few minutes  we prepared ourselfs and fooled around with the guys as you can see on the pictures. Then we headed to Padis. I won't tell any deatails about the weather, its unnecessary, too beatiful, a fellow blogger went swimming for example. So we started and went on together most of the track, we took a lot of pictures, you just cant resist the sight. The track was surely somewhere else, not in this country, because a paved track like this(?), maybe it was a highway in construction phase, would be more credible. So we went on in the sunny weather till the "Bruce Lee" camping, then we took a left turn and  went to Glavoi. This was the technical section of the day. Rocky section, river crossing, steep climb, just the way i like. Thenafter we stopped at Glavoi, cleaned our spds, enjoyed our sandwiches and chocolate-bars and went back. We quipped the windstopper gear, it got chilly, and 16km downhills its way better than without. I was happy to ride in November in such a great weather. Hope to have a quick winter! 
This was all about last weekend, took me a week to write it, yet no gps map but maybe some other time, when i buy be some!
Pedal, pedal, pedal....!!!!
