BULGARIA

BULGARIA

From Nis Serbia we ride to Bulgaria.At boderline there was quite much traffic but we pass the line
and ride there in front .Takes maybe 20 minutes to go over.Not bad at all.From boder line we call our old frends from Bulgaria,Andrey and Dailis from Brothers of wind MC,Bulgaria says that they are waiting for us at ROUTE 80 MOTEL 36 km from boderline way to Sofia.That was incredible place ,really biker bar/motel,if you ever are there ,check it out.We recommend.When we show up there and meet our friends ,we sit down and eat little bit.I was drinking Airan joqurt mixed with water (half and half),you can also put little salt on that drink if you like .In hot day like that it is  very freshing.Sounds maybe strainge but these people know what they are talking about.It was good ,I drink maybe 4 glasses.After that we start our bikes and ride with Andrey to Sofia,stop there for awhile and I really supprised because there was no traffic at all.That was saturday.Andrey tell me that summer time in Sofia at weekends everybody go out  to campping or summerhouses.
After Sofia we ride to Chelopech maybe 130 km from Sofia.We ride those small serpentine roads throu area called Stara Planina(old mountains).
Very nice ride.At Chelopech there was biker rally
organized by ATROX MC.
