Great stuff. I really enjoyed reading the article and I would like to come down there once making my own experience by touring around. From Germany it looks like it's in another world .... Well - go on with this kind of reports, guided by your Cratoni. We all wish you happy trails and sun in the spokes.

Hello Attila, Thank you for making the web page including our story (http://figyelo.transindex.ro/?cikk=14, http://www.hhrf.org/erdelyinaplo/2003/3en-15/3en-1534.htm). Please feel free to use our web page for any article. It's great to see you are able to contribute to Dirt Rag. It is surely is a plus to get information and experience from someone local to such a beautiful place as Northern Romania. More people should know. I was wondering how you found us? Keep up the good work. With your reports you can be a good ambassador for your country.

I enjoyed your article and it sounds like you and Lorant could have used the All Wheel Drive for some of those climbs!

As I am from Romania, too, from Lugoj, I know that there are no vamps in Transylvania... You are living in one of the most beautiful places on earth-really! I checked out your site, it's very interesting! We love to see that people from the most hidden places in the world know our products.

Nice report on the Dirt rag mag web site. If you like mountains, you will like Andorra too.

I got your post card from Torocko today, thanks! Those mountains look gigantic! I have never been to the western US, so I've never seen "rocky" mountains. Here in Pennsylvania, we have mountains but they are so old they have been worn downand are rounded and covered with trees.

Kedves Attila! Örömmel olvastam írásodat, és örültem azoknak a linkekenek is melyeket a dirtragmag alján találtam. Az írás annál is inkább megfogott, mivel sikerült az évezred utolsó délutánját (szerintem ez 1999. dec. 31.) a Székelykon és Torockón töltenem, valószínuleg nem lesz ennél emlékezetesebb szilveszterem.

I'm pretty excited, you are my furthest inquiry yet. Only on the internet could I get a question from Transylvania. My grandfather was hungarian :-)

Congratulations on your article in Dirt Rag. It sound like a fascinating place to visit.

I have met some very fine and interesting Romanian cycle distributors on my travels. Your country has some very fine history, and it sounds like a beautiful place. Sure, we all have our problems back home. I don't think your country is any different !!

Attila,

Thanks for your story on the Dirt Rag website. My name is Robert Dudas and I am a 34 year old American born to Hungarian parents. I speak Hungarian, but never learned to read and write it well. We have been to Hungary on many occasions and have rented a home for a month near Lake Balaton. My mother grew up near Budapest, then moved to Germany. My wife and I lived in Germany last year and I had the chance to do some biking in Bavaria and in Czechoslovakia. Now we live in Baltimore, Maryland and there is some good biking on the east coast of the U.S.. I sense the pride that you have for your country and your historical comments were interesting. I wish you great biking and if you are ever to visit the states I would be happy to assist.

Thanks for a wonderful article. I wish I knew how to write your langugage half as well as you write English.

I live near Lake Tahoe in California (USA). Some of the best rides in the world, so they say, are to be found here. I would love to be your guide if you can visit here some day.

Hey I had time to read your article. Very good. Sounds like Transylvania is a great place to bike. I have always been fascinated with that part of the world and hope some day to go there. It's good to know there is good biking.

I read your article on the Dirt Rag web page and thought I might drop you a line. My name is Judit and I am originally Hungarian but I have been living in Australia since I was 6. And I have been mountain biking for quite a few years now. I read your article about mountain biking in the Hungary region and knew had to write just to say hello!

It sounds beautiful over there. The one thing we have in common for sure is the love for biking.

Dear Attila,

Thanks for the links. I read your article. Is is very informative. Other English readers should consider bicycling in Transylvania. Your article will help many bicyclists to overcome the vampire legend. :-) I linked your article on our Hungary page for more people to read.
