Yet again I'm back in Ankara! In this weeks episode listen to Kate and I chatting about the occasional bike maintenance struggles and the fantastic people that I've been able to meet due to having such bad luck recently with keeping the tandem roadworthy. How does trusting people that I've only just met work when I'm travelling?

I also chat to Suna Yilmaz, who I stayed with in Ankara at the start of the week. With her teammates Suna was part of an expedition where the first Turkish women summited Everest - and she was one of them! Since then, she's continued being active and alongside working at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, she now competes in half-ironman triathlon races.
