Velodelta 2024

After a few years of hiatus, we are resuming #velodelta, 6-7 days in the Danube Delta, on May 1st and Easter, by bike and boat.

Don't let the cover photo fool you, I do velodelta on a fat bike, which helps a lot on the penultimate day. The tour is perfectly suited for gravel and MTB.

The daily distances are small and, without any problems, those who are "gods" on bicycles can do two days in one, or even three. But we go to relax, with children, puppies and piglets after us, arriving early at the guesthouse then continuing fishing in the evening, whoever is passionate. Accommodation at the guesthouse every night, it is also possible in a tent.

route

???? April 29, Monday – 39 km

Tulcea – Pardina // gravel

???? April 30, Tuesday – 36 km

Pardina – Chilia Veche // gravel, earth

Chilia Veche – Periprava // boat transfer

⛱ May 1, Wednesday – Periprava day off

???? May 2, Thursday – 32 km

Periprava, Letea Forest, CA Rosetti, Sulina // sand, gravel

???? May 3, Friday – 37 km

Sulina – St. George // gravel, sand

The sandy part is very dangerous for punctures. So either tubeless or...

???? May 4, Saturday – 43 km

Sf Gheorghe – Murighiol // boat transfer

Murighiol – Tulcea // asphalt

It can be extended with another day of relaxation in Sf Gheorghe, at the seaside, and return to Tulcea on Easter Sunday.

????It would also be great for "fellow" runners to run the route. Trail-run fastpacking with 30-40 km / day, even on flat terrain, is not out of the question.

PS. There is no participation fee, I am not a guide and I do not organize anything. It is a trip that I have done in the past and anyone can join. See less
