Total distance 22 km
The plan was to ride out of town to see how I managed on the bike and to visit Wat Phrathat Chom Mon
Tamarind and chillis drying on the hedge
The temple I could see when I was walking around last week
Standing up riding on the highway caused no discomfort so I gingerly ventured down this track
Friendly folk here taking a break
They gave me some tamarind to take home, nice sweet ones too
The old oil drums have a multitude of uses
The track carried on
It brought me back to the highway over the wooden bridge
At the entrance to Wat Phrathat Chom Mon it looked like it was a climb up steep steps to reach the top so I rode on and found this track which hopefully will take me there
These gates look like they have a track behind them going in the direction that I want to go, here the track is a crossroads so I have more to explore out here in a future trip
These two tell me it leads to my destination
Just past here I meet a paved road which goes to the top and I realise that I could have rode up from the entrance
Great views from the top which would have been even nicer a few months ago
The steep walk up for those who want to
I explore a few more unmapped tracks
The road turns to unpaved at the crematorium, the fallen tree wasnt a problem to get over
I follow this track and realise that offroad riding isnt that comfortable in t shirt, shorts and trainers but I wasnt expecting to be doing it today
Exactly five weeks after the crash and the KLX finally gets back to its natural habitat
I initially decided to turn around here but looking ay my gps told me I was closer to reaching a track I mapped two years ago then I was to riding back so I carried on
My first test and no problem
Nearly out of the woods now
Just through there and I am back on my track
The dried up riverbed that I mapped two years ago
At the irrigation canal there is some work taking place
Well I managed to cope alright with this outing, I cant bend the tip of the thumb much and it might need attention when I get back to the UK at the end of the month but hopefully I am on the road to recovery
