Bursa is where the day begins. Next is Sarıalan, climbing 1530 m.
Sarıalan comes up 22 km in. The road climbs 1530 m on the way up to it, hard. Reckon on about 11 °C colder than the valley, and more in the wind. Next is Uludağ, climbing 270 m.
1900 m, and the road stops climbing. The road climbs 270 m on the way up to it, steadily. Reckon on about 12 °C colder than the valley, and more in the wind. Nothing on this route is higher. High enough to hold ice in the shaded corners early and late in the year. Next is Çekirge, mostly downhill.
Çekirge closes the day.
