Safranbolu, Turkey to Samsun, Turkey – 252 miles (2,795 total)

Damage on my front rack from back in an unlit tunnel in Serbia.

Another little leg of the journey done and I’m glad to of found out that my fitness hasn’t seemed to have suffered too much despite my 6 week break back in England. I rode just over 400km in four days through fairly tough terrain climbing two passes over 1100m. Not bad at all!

Istanbul, Turkey to Safranbolu, Turkey – 227 miles (2,543 total)

View up to Suleymaniye mosque from the Galata bridge, Istanbul.

Well I’m finally back on the road and have just finished my first little stint. I momentarily considered changing my route, heading south to Cyprus, but changed my mind yet again after realising the ferry to the island costs almost as much as a flight from London. I’ll save that trip for another day.
