Say goodbye to Marmara Sea! Silivri was the last coastal town as I rode northwest in land to Corlu and Babaeski,still on D-100,tomorrow expected to cross border to Bulgaria in Edirne.Ride today under cooling weather,vast farm land can be seen on both sides,less populated,less traffics on a wide excellent road,maybe most of the traffics prefered to use the express way. Campsite tonight on a piece of farm land but was quite hidden under the trees about 100m from the road.Hard to find campsite with water here unlike in the mountainous coastal road. So I had to carry 3 litres of water ready ,usually about 4-4.30pm.

Yes. Glad you reply and of course wherever you are you can't be too complacent, do not overlook the issues of safety. Priority must be given at all times. Happy cycling and you are doing great. Take care and Paris is a pedal away. From TTKs
