Test Yourself at the ‘Trilogy of the Trails’
Transylvania Adventures: TRIADA MTB 2024
We’ve got some epic news for you, direct from the Carpathian Mountains and former Olympic rider, Tudor Oprea, the head of TRIADA MTB, the largest and most successful mountain bike race series in Romania.
For 2024, the Triada mountain races will be developed to include 3 types of off-road racing and adventures: E-Bike (E-MTB), MTB XCO and Gravel Bikes! Yes, the 3 most popular bike styles on the tracks and trails will come together at the 3 TRIADA event weekends in April, June and September, to form the amazing ‘TRILOGY OF THE TRAILS’ festival 2024! A whole new and exciting off-road concept and gathering for adventure seekers.
The Carpathian Mountains of Romania are home to some of the most spectacular forests in the world, and were described by the U.K. Financial Times as ‘Europe’s last great wilderness.’ They were quite right in their assessment, with bears and all manner of nature’s creatures to be found in the wooded slopes of this beautiful area. And, with the medieval splendour of the city of Sibiu, nestled in the foothills, this World Heritage Site provides an magnificent base for travellers from around the world.
The international airport has direct flights from London, Munich and elsewhere, and Sibiu lies only 30 km from the historic mountain resort of Paltinis, where the second of the ‘Trilogy’ events will be held, in June 2024. Tudor Oprea and the team at Triada are busily working away at the festival plans, which will provide an awesome adventure for all off-road riders from around the globe – so join us and Tudor in Sibiu, in 2024 for the ‘Trilogy of the Trails’ in transfixing Transylvania!
