Transfăgărășan - Snow & Ice
In September 2022, we attempted to ride this famous road once again. It was a clear blue sky day, but for a week prior to our attempt, it had been snowing and raining heavily in the area.
A few hundred metres from the top, everything was at a standstill. Nobody was going anywhere, so we turned around and descended. The black snake of the road was in such contrast to the stark white landscape.
Another magical experience.

FRANCE: D219 Balcony Road - D210 Gravel Road
Hello c’est où cette route
@duli74 it starts from the village of Le Bourg-d'Oisans.
Easy as, even a Harley could do the dirt section.lol
Yup Roy. Sure could. 🙂
Right I'm doing that one.
Yep, it's a good one. Great name, too - haha! 😃
21 of us did a Tassie tour back in March 2023. St Mary’s pass is a awesome ride. I’m originally from Tassie (live in Qld) and I can’t remember half the places we visited from my childhood. Best experience to see it all on the back of a bike. Doing Victorian alps in 2025 can’t wait for that trip.
Tassie is such an amazing place on a bike. :-) The Vic alps are also stunning. Cover that area and more in our membership. :-)

Been wearing the Richa Infinity Jacket and matching pants for just over a year now, including a trip to Tasmania, where we went from 5 to 42 degrees, they’ve been great, one of the best things that seems lost to the Australian importer though is the huge size range Richa make these in, great for us really large guys, it just means we have to order from Europe The Richa gloves are also really good, I’ve now got 3 pairs, there’s nothing better for the price
Cheers Troy. The next test will be in very cold climes, but very happy with it so far.
Promo*SM 🤔
Wow, they actually fixed the side of the road after the floods. Half the road was blocked off in areas on Silver Ridge Road. Ma Ma Creek store is now closed (very sad).
Arno, yes, heard recently the store had closed. Very sad indeed.
Great riding the dirt roads at the bottom of the range near Toowoomba, My Egypt etc. Keep it up.
Yeah, some great roads out this way arno. 🙂
How cool is that, your sticker is still there and survived. 👍 Nice view.
It was such a nice surprise to see it still there mate. They literally get metres of snow up there every year. 🙂
How much did the bag way.
Steve around 18 kilos. Going to change our tent and tent pegs, so should take 2 kilos off this.
Great job on building that ramp Alan. That is a nice setup you have and what a way to travel ute, caravan and the big GS.👍 Nice to see you and Bridget have your priorities right, stubby and cocktail, are perfect.🍹🍺😃
Hahaha. Yes mate, a little refreshment goes a long way. 😁
Great work! Makes moving a big Beemer around a breeze!
David, it sure does. 🙂
There are some good roads often found by mistake. Drove through some of that area (in an old LHD VW beetle) when we only had paper maps - before internet and gps. Great memories from travel.
Mal, absolutely. We've done some crackers. Though this one (the dirt one) did end up in the mountains at a collapsed bridge and roadway, which I found on Google Maps later that someone had pinned. This time was glad we turned around. 🙂
@@throwyourlegover Really liked the run through France - Last time my son-in-law and myself alternated driving duties (car) so we could sample the local product!! (enjoying one now ;). Love the Adriatic coast area and have not been there for quite a while. You and Bridget are covering some interesting areas and not so quickly so you have time to enjoy the people and scenery. The tunnels can be a bit scary from memory but I was travelling in a different time. I am really enjoying your videos. Thankyou for sharing. (I am sure you will get an invite from the BMW club in Bris to entertain us with your travel stories!!). Cheers and safe riding. Mal
@@MalJ-eb7nv thanks! We'd love to swing by the BMW club if we have the opportunity. 😀
Great video. Thankyou
Thanks Mal. :-)
Wow, I love that mountain road with the tunnels, no wonder some of those cyclists had stopped. I can see why it's called Balcony Road. Nice choice of music.👍
Cheers Darrel. It sure is a cracking ride. :-)
"Timmy" 🤣😂 We did have a Timmy at my work once, but I wouldn't have trusted him. LOL Some of our best rides are when we take the wrong road. Ride safe. Cheers Darrel
Hahaha, too funny. Yes, we've discovered many great places by going "I wonder where this leads".
Alan, looks like you would need a GS in order to ride that road up the mountain, 😀. Is it any wonder the professional cyclist are so good in Europe when they train in this type of terrain compared to Australia. That's hard core.
We were fully loaded which made it interesting. Yes, all over Europe, cyclists train on this type of terrain. So much stamina. 🙂
@@throwyourlegover fully loaded and two up that would have been fun.😀👍
@@thehairyleggedbikers.darre2510 it sure made it interesting at times. Not a road for tearing along that is for sure.
I was holding tight to the sofa just watching that. 😄 That's road is being added to next next years France trip.
Yeah, it was a scary one! Are you heading to France next European summer? 😀
@@throwyourlegover Yes I'm going to head down south and east for a while and explore the great scenery again. Lovely area. 🙂
Brave!
We sure didn't feel brave. Terrified, more like it! 😅
Wow, that's quite a road, love it... 🤘
It sure is. An engineering feat and not for the faint-hearted. 😮
Intense concentration!!. M
Very intense!!!! 😅
Amazing experience! A great route like so many throughout Europe
It was a heart- stopper, that's for sure!! 😅
Amazing. Scary enough just watching the video ! Imagine what it was like to actually build that road.
Yeah, the engineering boggles the mind! 🤯
Wonderful footage
Thanks Kath. It was so exhilarating but so scary as well. Especially when we hit the dirt further up. 🙂
I'll need to mark this one down for a ride through at some stage. Thanks TYLO.
It's a great short ride, add chain of ponds, quite magical.
Haha - we actually travelled this one with the 'bago last year - knew it looked like a better motorbike ride.
Hahaha. Yes, a little better on a bike. 🤣
Great video - I thought I had done this one back in 2018 - turns out it was Kidman Creek Road I was on. Dirt on a Triumph America - great stuff.
Thanks, Deadly1958! Obi Obi's a fun road, isn't it? Kidaman Creek is a great one, too. :)
Great vids guys. Keep it up. I know how much work these take to make. Cudos to you.
Thank you! Yeah, editing takes a while, that's for sure. But it's fun and we love sharing our riding days with you! 😀😀
great scenery I come from Victoria so at the moment its a world away, but travel is slowly getting back will ride that are some day, Keep the videos coming ( at least I can dream) LOL cheers BMac
Thank you! Yes, we are all waiting for the world to return to normal, that's for sure. More videos to come.😀
Soooo nice! Would you wanna share the route? Or is it part of the New Edition?
It's a great ride! It's a combination of a couple of rides in our SEQ&NNSW ed 2 book.😀
Awesome Video 🙂 Cheers all the best from Stefan
Thanks so much Stefan. Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Although I live in Wales UK, I know the road from Kenilworth to Palmwood very well as we have family in PW. Due to COVID, we've not been able to visit but your videography has brought back so many memories. Stay safe!
Thanks, Wak Jak! Hopefully it won't be too long before you can visit again. We are hoping to return to Europe in 2022, fingers (and toes) crossed! :)
Nice road great footage. What model helmets do you use? Are they comfortable? Quiet? Thank you in advance 😃
Steve, we have LS2 Valiants. Flip lids. Still need ear plugs. Great helmets at a pretty good price.
Great ride guys, what model of camera do you have ? 👍👍
Andrew, GoPro 8 on the bike and GoPro 9 which Bridget uses as a handheld on a short stick. :-)
