Tobias Gessler was not a mountain biker when he arrived in Albania eight years ago. Today, he annually guides around a hundred mountain bikers through the high peaks of the country.

"I was told that my bike was used and came from Germany, but I didn't ask too many questions..."

In Tirana, the capital of Albania where motors are objects of desire, riding a bicycle has newly become cool.

Between Canada, Morocco and Albania, a few drone photos cost me over $500…!

The 40 kilometers of trails that separate the capital Tirana from the city of Croïa in the north are done in one day. They are also epic enough that I will remember them for years to come.
