A lousy start to the day, I woke up late, the bike has clocked 6000 km so my plan was to take it for an oil change and I would enjoy a chicken khai soi for breakfast.
As always whenever I go there she is shut, I should have gone back home and had my usual porridge but decided to get a gai phad kapow, this was the worst one I have ever had the misfortune to eat

One track takes me close to this place and a loop but no way to get there so it was a ride back

Yesterday was a day of mainly loops and link ups, today was the opposite.
It was in my head that back in 1966 Ray Davies rode here and got the inspiration for the Kinks classic Dead End Street

On the ride home I cross over the Nan river and ride back along the scenic 4020

I saw the Kinks in concert at the Regal in Kingston upon Thames in 1965. Great band! I was in the front row.

We've just had a 40 minute power cut. I don't mind them during the day, but in the evening?
