Hill Climbing Thoughts
Why is that we seem to enjoy climbing hills on our fully loaded bikes so much? While slowly pedalling uphill I have had time to think about this and ponder if my aching legs are really worth any or all of; the beautiful view, the long downhill, a stop for snacks at the top. – Posted by Justin

Turkish Cycle Touring Maps
Continuing our recent theme of posting about how we use maps we thought it might be useful to some blog readers to hear a little about our experiences using and buying maps of Turkey.
