Gülek Castle

Hello,

Last Sunday I rode to Gülek Castle from Adana with ABIT cycling team. One of our friend was going to Çanakkale, we wanted to keep company him and visit the Gülek Castle on his way.

I woke up at 6.30 am, after preparation I was on the road at 7.40 am.

Cycling on D750

We bought an orange and ate them on next of the road.

While waiting for the rest of the group, we met a landowner. He told us he was a retired solicitor, he worked 20 years in Tarsus. After his retirement, he bought vineyard from there. He grows grapes for a hobby. A peaceful place to live for him.

Stopped for lunch, after the lunch see of Orhan to Çanakkale 

Small descends before big climbs

We turned to castle way

And it started hailing...

We never gave up

Happy and wet cyclists

I didn't stop for taking more pictures, because it was cold, wet and it was going to be dark. I split from the group in Tarsus and took a train ride to Adana. My team came back all the way back.
