A great four days of riding, including a fantastic campsite along lake Tuz Golu, and a night with a family who saw us set up our tent and insisted we spend the night with them.

We had a good and productive week in Ankara, getting three visas, applying for two more (which, fingers crossed, we’ll get), and meeting with several environmental experts and activists. A longer post describing the week is coming soon.

Here are photos from our five days of biking from Istanbul to Ankara. A longer post, describing the route, is coming shortly.
