In recognition of the achievements of the latter, I was going to attempt to structure the day's thoughts in the rather obscure stylistic form of a creed. Unfortunately I'm too exhausted to come up with anything particularly clever, and "I believe in one climb" still seems vaguely blasphemous.
So, not wanting to risk a smiting when I climb up out of here towards Izmit and Istanbul, I can report in plain English that today was a day of probably 15 miles of climbing in 80 miles total, and was rather tiring as a result. The scenery, however, as I hope the pictures below show, was spectacular, the lake view in particular more than justifying the sweat and tears involved in the 4 mile climb - at more than 10% - that got me up there.

Hmmm, I thought - "There's a challenge". So I got as far as
I believe in one cog
The faster, the better
Turner of hub and wheel
Of all that moves, uphill and downhill.
And then I thought, oh, that's not going terribly well, is it, so I left it at that.
