Cycling in Turkey - 13th Sept -
Trip - MTK - TRAILS OF THE TURQUOISE COAST, Departure Date - Monday 13th September 2010
Hello - I'm new to Exodus, new to mountain-biking, and have never been to Turkey!! Am pretty fit from running, and am a regular bike commuter - any tips on what to expect, or how to prepare for off-road biking?? I'm doing a one-day course in Thetford Forest on 1st August - but fear that may not be enough! Suggestions or thoughts, anyone?

I think the best plan is -
I think the best plan is just to get some miles on your bike, varying the terrain and routes you take. That is at least the route I am going, practice makes perfect after all. I have done some off-road biking in the past but nothing like this sort of thing. I am on the same trip and cant wait to get out there.

Hi -
Hi there, I've never been on a cycling holiday and I've never been to Turkey so really looking forward to this.  I used to do a lot of mountain biking but haven't for a while so trying the get as much practice in as possible, especially fast downhill runs! 

Meeting Up -
I'm planning on heading down to Gatwick on the Sunday night if anyone is doing the same and fancies meeting up get in touch.
