Top three of what I hate while riding my bike are No.1 head wind, No.2 raining, Mo.3 Traffic.
When those come together in same time, it's a big challenging how you keep your sprit to go forward. In this time, those came same time and with coldness. I hate cycling in this condition.

自転車を乗ってる間、一番嫌いなもの、1番「向い風」、2番「雨」、3番「車」、この3つが揃う時、真の心の強さが試される。が、今回は寒さも加わって、さすがに心をバキバキに砕かれました。もうイヤだーーーー


After Gyoreme, the weather became worse and worse as i expected. The wind was blowing very hard. I was almost blew out of the road many times. From next day, the cold cold rain started. Its smash my face so pretty painful.
ギョレメを出発して翌日から予想通り天気は下り坂。想定外の猛烈な向い風、アナトリアの風はアナドレません。何度も転倒しかけました。翌日からは豪雨、バチバチと正面から遅いかかって来る冷たい雨。


Furthermore, i got annoying police check somehow. This had been happened before so was my second in Turkey. I don't know why....I guess I look an Afghani illegal immigrant because many people so far asked me "Are you from Afghanistan", even in Iran. However, why people think as a traveler of Afghanistan even though I have a bicycle with a lot of stuff....I've never seen such Afghani.
さらに追い討ちをかけんばかりに、意味もなく警察に止められパスポートチェック。トルコ入って2回目。今回は警察署まで連れてかれた。普通トルコでパスポートチェックなんてされるの？ もしかしたら自分があまりにアフガニスタン人に見えるから？ トルコに入ってから良くアフガニスタン人に間違われる。でも普通に考えて、アフガニスタン人はこんなフルロードの自転車乗ってないよね。。


I didn't give up by this awful conditions for couple of days. The weather got better. However, temperature dropped dramatically. Seems this is the beginning of winter. Highest temperature of a day is about 2℃ (36℉). I hate cold finger and toes. I should get out of Anatolia as soon as possible.
そんな最低の悪天候を辛抱して2日。翌日から天候は回復。現在アンカラ南西約60km。が、、、どうやらアナトリアに冬が到来したらしく、日中でも気温は2度。指先がかじかむ感覚、大嫌い。低い山も雪化粧。こりゃオチオチ走ってられませんな。さっさとマルマラ海に行きましょーー
