(bikepacking Sufi Trail)Davide Travelli2025-10-05 | Cycling the world - Asia: 005 episode Day 6 on the Sufi Trail. I wake up outside Zobran, where I camped for the night, and start early. The trail quickly turns into chaos as I pass through a recently burned forest, dragging my bike and panniers over fallen trees. After endless climbs, I reach Bilecik, where I finally manage to do laundry and take a shower. The next day brings more steep climbs and remote villages, with Ayran becoming my main fuel. As darkness falls, I reach Söğüt—but a tough single track ahead forces me to camp once again.

Leaving my forest camp above Osmaneli, I fight through steep dirt climbs before reaching a village mosque to refill water, wash up, and refuel on borlotti beans. In the afternoon, I stock up again at an A101 before facing confusion on the riverside trail, forcing me to take the alternative climb up the mountain. In Vezirhan, landslides and lack of maintenance make the official hiking route impassable by bike, so I switch to the biking trail to reach Zobran. Just outside the village, I pitch camp for the night.

Bikepacking Sufi TrailDavide Travelli2025-09-21 | Cycling the world - Asia: 003 episode Day 4 on the Sufi Trail. I wake up checking the damage from yesterday’s crash, one finger swollen and purple, but the rest of my hand is improving. After breaking camp, I’m offered chai, olives, and bread in the first village before tackling a steep morning climb. With no shops in sight, I’m desperate for a cold drink until Osmaneli finally appears, where I down a litre of ayran and a full meal. A poor mix. Feeling heavy and sick, I push through the climb out of town at a slow grind. When the trail turns into single track through the pines, I call it a day and set up camp before sunset.

Early in the morning, Ahmet, a friend of the trail, spots me and treats me to a proper Turkish breakfast, shows me thousand-year-old trees in the forest, and loads me up with watermelon before I finally start riding. The day turns into a brutal mix of climbs and hike-a-bike until Iznik Lake comes into view, where I camp beneath a peach tree bursting with fruit. The next day brings more hills, rough trails, and then disaster: a rolling stone throws me off the track on a technical descent. My right hand takes the hit, but I push on into Iznik and camp in a village beyond the city, hurting but still moving forward.

So today, on a rainy day in Istanbul, I’m going to prove you can make good pizza absolutely anywhere, with no special equipment needed. First stop: a Turkish supermarket for ingredients, but filming gets me kicked out immediately. Not giving up, I find another shop, grab what I need, and head home. After preparing the dough and waiting patiently (24 hours!), it’s finally time to cook the pizza. Can I really make authentic Italian pizza abroad, or will Istanbul win this round? - Join me to find out!
