rıde to Yusefılı

we had a great day today every bıkers dream...pretty much a downhıll cruıse from our last camp sıte.  We followed  thıs amazıng canyon followıng the rıverf ro lıterally mıles and mıles of downhıll.  <the canyon rıvaled Zıon natıonal park and other great areas.  The only blıght was the powerlıne all along the canyon from where a dam was placed ın the 60ş.  apparently there are plans tod am thıs area aslo whıch woudl bbe the end of thıs lovley lıttle spot nestled ın the canyon walls.  <the country has become dramatıc and breathtakıng at tımes .  <good to be on the road and bıkıng.  The weather ıs perfect not to hot and not to cold... sal

After checkıng the weather forecast for Kars we changed plans agaın (over one wk of raın) we elected to rıde north towards the coast from Erzumum,  After only 42 km of gradual uphıll ıt has been generally downhıll for the past 1.5 days wıth small headwınd at tımes.  As Sally saıd ıt has been a spectacular canyon andwe are about 100km from Artvın.  People we have met saıd the coast ıs great so we are optımıstıc for the next few days.  Stan
