We're here!!
After 7 very fun and exciting weeks of cycling across Europe, the Orient Express cyclists successfully completed their journey by cycling to the shore of the Bosphoros in Istanbul! Our last days greeted us with very high temperatures and lots of hills, but nothing would stand in the way of the determined set of riders, who have continually looked out for each throughout the trip, and everyone made sure that no one would be left behind. In the early afternoon of July 18th the group boarded the Naim Baba boat, which then took them on a pleasant cruise down the Bosphorous towards the Ortakoy district of Istanbul and our hotel. While sipping beers on deck and feeling the wind against them, the cyclists reminisced over the time spent together these last months, and perhaps dreamt of future cycling tours that they may endeavor to partake in. So, warm wishes to all our Orient Express participants, and a thorough congratulations on cycling the entirety of Europe. Until the next ride…
