I did this route with Yiğit Yazıcı and can vouch for the truth of his comments. Many thanks to the original uploader.
It was an epic experience. The western most loop is the part with most technical descents and is by far the juiciest part of the ride. This route has an elevation gain of 2.500 meters, so be prepared to climb. It is advisable to have tyres that are suitable for rocky descents as I punctured my sidewall on the 90th km.
Be prepared for the sun as some paths do not offer the protective shades of the trees, especially during noon.
If you are going to follow the trail from a gps device, make sure to bring a powerbank with you. Our gps died on battery on the 8th hour and we had to improvise to get back to our car.
