urgh...knew some one will bring up the old racing type pics...

I was actually just talking about riding in general....but then I guess the previous one was also racing.

is that you? That was the place I first rode a MTB back in 1994. Absolutely stunning. We carried our bikes up some mountain/hill trudging through a farmers vegetable crop (sorry sir) till we found a narrow alley like in your first pic. We bombed it down, not knowing where the hell we were going or what was in our path. Brilliant.

The green shirt in the picture below is me, I took the other one. Last week

 

This is an amazing place with overloads of singletrack. Tourism was down because of the Taksim riots, so it was quiet(ish) and accommodation was cheap and freely available.

 

Will have to go back there someday.

This is my equivalent. Last year in the Himalayas.

Wow. Nice. do you require any kind of special permits to go riding there? I think through the Andes would be amazing as well. Actually - lots of beautiful places in this world to experience on 2 wheels.
