Total distance 124 km

The riders

Erik Honda CRF 250L
Colin Kawasaki KLX 150

Some dry track for a while



But mud is found today where I have never seen it before





Its the best time of the year for riding right now, fresh air and lovely greenery





These 24 hour fuel pumps seem to be in most villages now





The track from a settlement that leads to the secret bridge can only be used by bikes right now because of wet weather damage



Muddy wet and slippery riding along here now



Less then a year ago this track was wide and well used by pickup trucks



Washout after washout now



Erik gets airborne at this jump

Obstacle after obstacle, it took quite a while to cover a few km along this section



Finally we reach the secret bridge and relieved to find that it hadnt been washed away too.
When are you riding here again Harry Clusen?











The other side of the bridge was damaged and hard going too until we reach the first village











It was a relief to finally reach this village as it will be an easier ride home now we are on mainly firmer ground



Mud covers this concrete section





Lots more mud, I guess yesterdays storm dumped its contents where we were riding today



Finally the dry concrete of the 3005 to get us back to the 108

Looks hard going in places, easier on the smaller bike? I often wonder whether I should give up on the 'Farang' type bikes and just get a Honda Wave when I see where the locals take them with ridiculous loads;-)

I often get that feeling too Tim, they just go anywhere on them
