Distance 200 km

First job this morning was to get a new front tyre, got 21500 km from this one

280 Baht for another one exactly the same

While I was waiting I was looking at some modifications on the bikes here

These wider tubeless tyres on this Wave would make it feel better, shame the diameter of the wheels is smaller though

Whilst the cut open bit looks good I cant imagine water in there helps braking efficiency much


Now out on the 4016 Mae Win road



At Ban Huai Pong I take a left and its this concrete road which is very steep in places













The paved surface finishes at a village




This unpaved track will take me to the 1009



If it stays like this it will be quite easy going





After about 1-2 km its a paved surface all the way now

A few paved turn offs were seen with signs pointing to villages, I think another days exploring is needed up here tomorrow


Crossing the river just as I am about to meet the 1009




I ride up towards Doi Inthanon then take a righ onto the 4016 to loop back to where I was a couple of hours ago



This is a funny little roadside waterfall and I am pointing the camera straight up vertical to take this photo


At 1700 metres its very cold up here today





A fun day on some new stuff and redoing old stuff

Pork chops, fries, salad and sweetcorn at Gecko Garden 199 Baht
