On täällä hetki aikaa levähtää, mutta en ajatellut asumaan jäädä. Faniklubi oli mäessä vastassa. #tcrno11

Tällä kertaa Kettu Vipulainen oli lähtenyt Baanalle. Ilmeisesti matkalla Ihkuun tarkoituksenaan viettää hauska ravintolailta.

Aurojen ja pyöräilijöiden suhdeluku oli 4:1. Aamulla kukaan tuskin uskoo, että tuota on aurattu, niin piti ottaa kuva. #bikeinhel

So Sakarya was "a town" I'd mentioned on FB that had built a segregated cycle path through the city. Also quite a bit other cycle infra, but quality was from 1900s. #tcrno10

Cp 4 parkour is now done. Quite smooth sailing. Though another rider was walking down saying he had dropped his brevet card. Bike was few km further. #tcrno10

One pinch (stupidity), one needle from a plant (random) and one remained a mystery. Maybe also something with seating. #tcrno10

Flat with a view. In addition to 3 punctures today I had to inflate the tire 6-7 times to get it seated. No idea what is the issue here. Almost never happens with any tubed tires. #tcrno10

While riding gravel is incomprehensibly annoying it sometimes comes with a view. Wonder how many views I missed because I had to be riding the gravel. #tcrno10

After waking a few hours late this 380 km/19h was the best I could ask for. Tomorrow still about 200 free kilometers before actual cycling again for the last 700 km.
Now recovery and service work. #tcrno10

The old Bulgarian road 8 experience is a bit weak with dogs sterilized, interstate trucks on A1/A4, overgrown vegetation gone and half repaved. Haskovo region still tries to keep thr old Trucks, dogs and angry melons legacy alive. #tcrno10
