Distance 143 km
Heading north on the 107 I got off of it just north of Mae Rim to follow a canal road which kept alternating between paved and unpaved
The rain from last night was a bit heavier further north and a nice muddy water colour
Now on the twisty 5025
The Mae Taeng river is also a muddy brown colour
Some Western and Asian tourists enjoying a slow trip along the road
These four had just left their village of Ban Huay Pa Rai
I will explore it on the way back from seeing how far this track goes
Lots of mud and water today but the Waves tyres cope with it easily enough
At the tracks end a few shacks, I was hoping to link this track up to the one I found over the mountain but sadly it was not to be.
My GPS showed me a 1 km from it but with a massive height difference
Riding back a side single track was explored
A few more of these bridges were rode over
This concrete bridge has collapsed
I could hear voices but see no one, then suddenly they emerged into view
A better bridge but sadly it leads me to a dead end so its back to the collapsed one to get out unless I wish to ride back again
The Wave easily manages this
Now to look around Ban Huay Pa Rai
A few waterwheels here but none were turning today
A group of tourists turned up while I was here
On the ride home a bit more offroad was explored
