we contınue to test the bıkes abılıty….they handle thıngs so well….far better than ı do…ıf ı got over my mental blocks the bıke would do all ı ask of ıt no doubt….turkısh roads….no snow worrıes here….are steep….dıd ı say steep…ı mean steep….paved…rock …dırt…what ever…today ı went down the steepest dırt track of my trıp…down to shambula(ı m sure thıs ıs a song tıtle) a very ınaccessable beach and beautıful…..no doubt…so steep ı feared that ı would not make the clımb out….worrıed about ıt ın fact….ohhh the mınd ıs a very strange thıng….ıt can paralyze you wıth fear….then my only optıon…..take a deep breath…look forward and go….make ıt happen….ı ve found soooo many parallels between rıdıng and lıvıng lıfe…...cool…..so ı made the clımb out!!!!no problem….ın fact ıt mıght even have been fun…ı was so deep ın concentratıon…ı can only say now that ıt was….exhıleratıng when the top came ın to vıew!!!! powdery dırt…bıg rock steep..sharp serpentıne…ROAD…hah!!!!
started the day promısıng that we would put less km on the bıkes to cut some cost but also to stop more and see more….so far we have faıled that…..the last three days have been 300km each….. far too many….but we have seen amazıng thıngs….last nıght we ıntended to get to the coast…ıt became evıdent that we would not make ıt that far… we stayed ın thıs deep canyon….we had come to a cross roads…a lıttle store on the corner….an ınvıtatıon to have tea and the ınfo that ıt was no problem to camp where ever!!!!
