I bought a new MX helmet yesterday to bring over to Thailand but decided to try it out today and its the perfect choice during our current heatwave, its much nicer then the DP one I normally wear with a flip down visor

A couple of offroad bikes come along but I didn't see any other motorised vehicles along here today

At least its dry here now unlike my previous trip when it was muddy along a nearby track
