11-2-16 Mae Sariang A Few Short Tracks West Of The 105

[Captain_Slash]

Total distance 69 km

Riding along the 1194 and theres probably as much water in the irrigation canal as what is left in the Yuam river, the water level is very low now

I want to stay dry today and dry my boots out too, plus the legs are still aching from yesterdays long offroad ride.
Standing up on the 150 isn't as comfortable as it was on the 250

Now on the unpaved track that comes out in Sob Moei











I get the thumbs up from these guys





I try out this unpaved track and that was deeper and muddier then I expected it to be



Here the track finishes

Now to enjoy the ride back





A side track off of it takes me back to a Village I was in a few days ago

Further south and a steep paved track leads to this

Peering through the trees I can see the village below

And the new concrete bridge



Typically my last new track starts off dry then after about 100 metres it looks like a riverbed ride but its only for about 100 metres then its a dry track for a while

I still have to keep on crossing the riverbed though

Then its a non stop riverbed section but thankfully not much water in it

Seeing this guy out here was a surprise

He is busy weaving baskets



Through the trees I can see a truck

The driver is fast asleep

Then he wakes up and comes out for a chat

Further on and this tree has fallen across the double track but there is a detour around it and I carry on

Here is where I decide to turn back, the track carries on but I walked over and was a bit concerned that I might get across but not back up again and its a long walk back for help





Riding back and he is getting on with the second basket

Back on the paved surface



Along the 105 at Ban Mai

Spinach chicken bake and garlic bread at Corsica 114 Baht

Plus a slice of pizza 25 Baht
