A One-Man United Nations on Two Wheels

Gokova / Turkey Oct..2007

My Dear Friends.

I'm so happy that I can go on the road again since I got a long holiday. My first bike tour was "Gokova Tour" which was in South Turkey. I met about 100 cyclists and we rode about one week together. Then I rode another week on my own. It was a fantastic tour and I could make a lot of new friends. I'd like to thank all the organizers from Mugla and all the participants.

"Gokova Bay Under my Pedals"

Sakar pass

A rainy start in the first day but we are still in good mood.

I had to run back to cameraman to hit him because he didn't want to put me onto the pics

A group picture for the Turkish press before the ride starts.

Climbing in a big group.

I love mountains. It hurts the legs but it's a big challenge.

At the top of the mountain, you see that we're not so fresh anymore like this morning

Tea time

Hurry up everybody, in the towns, we have to pay

A short break and a small talk.

Our host Dr. Bulent Savran asked me very difficult questions about my private life. I was so shy at that moment. Yes I'm not married but I love the girls

Our team members Cenap and Gursel having a break.

Castle of Bodrum.

We enjoyed the ferry and the sunshine.

Ready to go...

My friend Ibrahim, in the front, gave a strong pace like a "Russian Locomotive":)) It was difficult to keep the speed behind him.

A small talk and preparation before the ride starts.

I gave a briefing about my long bike tours. Everybody was curious about the Chinese food??? I think they love dogs:))

Where did I put my shampoo?
