STAGE 15 etap 2 - July 8 2026

By Mark · Journey: Cycle Exped to Japan via Finland · 85 km

Quite a smooth ride to Çarsamba and managed to avoid the main road for most if the way. Met another cyclist from Slovakia in the guest house when I arrived - on his way home from Asia.
Today there is sun and cloud as I head east towards Fatma.
