Distance 88 km
The widening of the road that follows the irrigation canal to the South West of Mae Rim is nearing completion now that the bridge is almost finished
I follow this single track a short way to get to the aquaduct
I have walked far enough along it, nothing else to see here
Time for a bit of offroad exploring
Elephant shit everywhere
Now back to the paved stuff for a while
I am going to ride this track to its end to see how the concreting is coming along
Hilariously by the look of it, what point is there in concreting wider past the telegraph poles?
Back to residential unpaved
Now back through the woods
A pleasant ride with good views
Plenty of mesh there, I guess they are going to finish the job
A long section of paved now
Here I was happily bombing along without a care in the world when suddenly I noticed there was a crossroads ahead where the Wave is parked and I had to give way.
Luckily the combination of a new front tyre, new front brake pads plus the brake fluid changed to Dot 4 and the brakes all cleaned out meant I just about stopped in time.
Not much traffic using that road anyway but its sods law if I hadnt have stopped something would have come along
Hopefully they will finish the entire road as at the moment it would piss the dirt riders off and isnt suitable for a big bike road trip yet
From a distance I thought it was the ice cream lady and flagged them down
They must have wondered what I was doing there
A bit more easy going unpaved was rode
Lots of sidecars on the roads I am riding today
This is a reservoir not the Ping although that is close by
Looking upstream at the Ping and its a sorry sight now
Saturday night usual at Gecko Garden 199 Baht
