Getting closer...

Istan is getting closer... but the mountains are sneaky. It's probably a lot longer than it looks. Need to bike wisely to not burn too much energy.

When even the most well trained team member needs to stretch, it means that the ride has been hard.

Finally - Istan! We almost started to think the village was only an illusion, since it looked so close - but were so far away... Lunch has never tasted better.
