Its my 58th birthday today and I would like to think in 20 years time I will still be out riding most days.
Having eaten and drunk too much last night I wasn't too eager to get going this morning, 2 litres of fresh coffee finally did the trick

Not far off the 108 I spot the lady who had her bike laden with bananas yesterday

It looks like she collects them and her husband prepares them

A couple of lads out near Pa Pae

Their buckled rear brake pedal must be fun on right hand corners

This track is a bit too overgrown for my liking

A different turn and it turns to single track

A few km north of Santitham and the 1270 turns to unpaved, I didn't ride much further north after this to find out if its been paved further on.
Its been a two or three years since I last rode here and back then it was unpaved as far south as Mae Tho

Todays trip finishes off mapping the triangle created by the 108, 1270 and the 3010.
There are sure to be a few things that I have missed but everything major should now be on the map.
I will still ride inside it as there are good fun tracks and loops in there plus there is a track on the map that I have not rode before so must check that one out sometime
