The ride from Konya to Askaray (red road - not dogs) was easy - no major hills or strong wind; although, getting out of Konya was a bit crazy. Turkish drivers drive fast and assume they always have the right of way. We rode through more agricultural land and some very dry land with nothing planted. The scent of sage was present - and very nice. Miles of road consturction made riding easy but also not so pleasant. When possible, we rode on the road that was under construction - no one cared, and the road was closed to traffic (except the occasional tractor or horse and wagon). When the road under construction was not ridable, we roade on a narrow, bumpy shoulder.
We also rode by this beautiful mountain.
We saw a field with many storks - we have also seen stork nests - they are impressive.
Askaray is described by Lonely Planet as being an place not worthy of visiting. I may agree. The hotel options were sparse. The town does have a nice center square though. This photo is the square in Askaray.
