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.

Day 5 on the Sufi Trail. 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.

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.

Day 2 and 3 on the Sufi Trail. 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.

My world bike tour continues into Asia as I leave Istanbul and set off on the Sufi Trail towards Konya. This time I follow the official hiking route, after following mostly the cycling route of the Sufi Trail back in 2019. The adventure begins on the European side of Istanbul, before taking the ferry to Yalova where the real challenge starts.

While paused on my round-the-world bike journey in Istanbul, I decide to hop on the saddle and cycle through the city’s most iconic sights. Starting from Caddebostan in Kadıköy, I pedal across both continents, exploring legendary locations such as Eminönü, Süleymaniye Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, Sultanahmet with Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and much more. Crossing bridges, dodging traffic, and stopping for an authentic kebab near Taksim Square. Join me for this scenic tour through the heart of Istanbul, from Europe to Asia, all by bicycle.
