Turkey part 3: Ankara to Samsun (02/06/15-09/06/15)

Jun 15, 2015

I left Ankara with a clear target – to cycle approximately 450km to Samsun (where I always intended on passing) by Saturday, five days away. Then I could get the bus back to Ankara on Sunday, try for the second time to get my Uzbekistan visa on Monday and return the same day or Tuesday. … More Turkey part 3: Ankara to Samsun (02/06/15-09/06/15)

After a six-year build-up, I finally got @bellabowker out on her first bikepacking overnighter this spring - and it was also my first time cycling in Sweden. (Naturally, I ended up carrying all the bags...) πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ Right then, a few more pics from Bornholm. πŸ‡©πŸ‡° I really thought this would be the summer I finally made it over to race the Tour Divide, but β€˜life’ had other plans for me this spring, so that dream’s back on hold for now. (One day! πŸ˜‰) A few snaps from a dash to the snow last month A handful of almost-lost old photos from a summer of roaming in 2024. Man, time flies. Exactly 10 years ago today, I left London on my bicycle to go and cycle around the world.Β  The Giant Circle: part 3/3 The Giant Circle: part 2/3 The Giant Circle: part 1/3
