250km, mostly on road this time...went out early to see my colleagues flying(still waiting for the bloody Turkish CAA to validate my licence Mad

), then went exploring to find some snow in the mountains. Finally found some at around 2500m(7500'+-) Wink

i find it weird how somewhere so hot can have snow up a hill, out of interest, what sort of temperature is it up there?

Nice pics btw, would love to have a ride round there one day Thumbs Up

It's probably a bloody sight warmer in the UK than here at the moment!
About 10°C daytime temp at the moment, although it went up to 22 last week. Night time around the freezing mark and snow forecast for tuesday Shocked

We're up at around 3500' here, and the snow in the pics was up at about 7500'

During the summer it gets up to 40°C+ in the shade with night time temps of around 20-22. Winter time you can stick a - in front of those temperatures!!

But yes, a stunning place to ride. I had a little 125 to run around on last year, but the AT is a million times better for the roads here...
