My bags are packed, i've got a new bike (long story, best told over beer...) and i'm heading to the airport tonight. My plan for the trip is as follows:
Istanbul --> Bucharest --> Odesa --> Kiev
Each leg of the trip is about 600 km long and will take me about a week (at a stately pace). I'll try to send an email from each city. I'm hoping to take a train back to Istanbul and spend my last week checking out the sights there.
The Trip:
Western Turkey, showing the three cycling legs of my trip.
