    Welcome to MTB-Serbia!

    (sticky)

    I’m markowe and this site is all about mountain biking in the wonderful land of Serbia! “Where?!”, I hear you ask! Good question! All will be revealed elsewhere on these pages.

    But a bit about this site: I am a British guy living in Serbia who is also keen on mountain biking - there is nothing like slogging your way up a deserted, unmarked mountain trail, with only a few friends for company, a few bemused sheep to scatter from your path, and a stunning view waiting for you when you finally reach the top!

    If you know exactly what I’m talking about, then you might want to stick around!

    But let’s get one thing straight, I am no “expert” (bet you’re relieved really) - I don’t even know the English names for the different parts on a bike (though I’ve learned some of the Serbian names - maybe I can put together a dictionary sometime!). In fact the bike which I have been riding since I got into MTB about 3 years ago is a “supermarket” 120 EUR (less than $100) job I bought when I knew really absolutely nothing. But you wouldn’t believe where I’ve been with that heap of junk! More about the bike elsewhere!

    What I want to say is, I am a guy who discovered at the age of 31 that he LOVES mountain biking, is keen to learn, and do as much of it as possible despite a busy life. And I want to do it in SERBIA and share the experience with you!

    If you think others might want to read this post, don’t be selfish, click above to AddThis to Digg, Del.icio.us or just about any other bookmarking service and share and share alike!
