Transfagarasan, Romania in May
I've been reading about this road which I want to ride this summer on my bicycle as part of a London to Istanbul offensive I am planning.
I will arrive in Romania in May time and am hoping to ride over the transfagarasan. I know the road is closed officially often until early-July, but I am a keen bike-pusher... and the road only sits at around 2000m at the peak.
Does anyone have experience in the area, and is it likely I am going to be stopped by over zealous officials or stopped by the sheer amount of snow?
I have always found roads like these in the alps/Pyrenees a real pleasure to pedal down before the barriers are taken off and the road is officially opened!
