Georgia Military Road and eastern Turkey in early Nov.
Hey all,
I'm currently in Bukhara and exploring the best options back to Europe based on the weather. After reading about some riders crossing the Russian/Georgian border I've been tempted to give it a go myself.
Does anyone know what kind of weather conditions I can expect on the Georgia Military Road and in eastern Turkey at the end of October/early November? I expect I would cross into Georgia around the end of the month and try to make my way west across Turkey rather quickly. I know much of central and eastern Turkey is at a decent elevation and I could see snow - I had thought if I stuck to the Black Sea coast it may be a bit warmer/less chance of snow - am I mistaken?
I have a heated jacket and don't mind riding in fairly cold weather, but would prefer not to be riding in snow/ice!
My other option is across Ukraine/Romania etc.
Any opinions on what the best choice is here? I don't really have a final destination in mind in Europe so where I end up is a bit irrelevant - have thought of possibly continuing the ride to Morocco, but I may just call it a day and store the bike somewhere.
