Summer 2018

Sometimes it happens: I can't sleep.
It's very rare but it's normal when too many things go through your mind.



The best in these occasions is to start using the time and so I've started working on next Summer. Right now is Winter and thinking of next Summer and maybe riding through Turkey, a place I haven't seen yet pops up in my mind: Ölüdeniz. I had planned to go there 2 years ago on the way back from Georgia but I didn't. Why?
I can't exactly say why I skipped the whole part in South East Turkey, the Beast was ready for it but the Knight wasn't. Moreover he threw manure on itself so it was not the really right time for that trip. But flowers don't come from diamonds, they come from manure!
So here we go, I still have the tracks of the Georgia trip, which were based on the ones a Russian Rider shared with me. By looking a little bit at Wikiloc I've decided myself: I will reach Central Asia by riding through Turkey and Iran. So I've downloaded something like 40 tracks and the puzzle is starting.
Betwee Ölüdeniz and Iran there is already a lot and there is a lot more to discover, like Taşkale, just found it on the pictures of google map.
I haven't started planning the BAM and Central Asia part of the trip that the Turkey is already making it Epic!
