2-3-19 Mae Sot, More Single Track Fun On A Difficult Steep Track

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 112 km



A short wait for the cattle to cross the track

Then its back onto the track I rode yesterday afternoon and a side track from it looked like it might go in further

The track turns to single track and its not hard going to start with

The track becomes less defined and steeper

I end up walking a few sections first before riding them and the steep bit was very difficult, I was following a rut but it was too deep and the bike was stuck.
There was only the option of lifting it out of the rut which wasnt easy on a narrow strip, there was a lot of sweating and swearing as I finally managed to manhandle it up to the top

Annoyingly I completely forgot to take more photos of the difficult bit



I reach a t junction and am happy I have made a loop over that hill

Finally some shelter for my lunch break and to cool down







I have company coming



But he rides on to his field



I link up to a track I rode a week ago and now know exactly where I am







Now back on that single track that will take me to the 1175





A few more double tracks were found this afternoon









I dont know what these are all doing down these tracks





I know what she is looking for



This little area is now completely mapped and tomorrow I can get to new stuff close to Mae Ramat

Chicken tikka botti and two garlic naans at Bismillah, 200 Baht

Nice area Colin and some nice tracks there.

It was great fun Bob, anyone trying that single track on a bigger bike really shouldnt do it alone though, I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew even with the Wave and they are easy to get out of the shit
