Distance 65 km
On my first offroad track the leaves are being blown down as I ride along, the weather is on the change today
Dry dusty tracks
The rubber tapper tells me this goes through to link up with another track, he was correct too
Not expecting to see a lot of sunshine today, the forecast said rain by mid afternoon
The lady with the pink bike was chatty but a bit camera shy
This must be a dry reservoir area, not much water in this one
These tracks are mostly linking up and at times I have linked to where I was riding yesterday, this one also crosses over the Nam Sao river on a concrete bridge
Another track ends at the Nam Sao river with this walking bridge in place, I step on it and the bamboo pole is rotten and disintegrates.
As I have no desire to risk falling through the bridge I ride back
Now at a completely dry reservoir
Standing on the bottom looking at the overflow
A deep hole in the reservoir contains no water although the soil is still a bit moist
One dead fish remains in the hole
Now for a bit of single track through the woods which links up to two double tracks
As I rode past this guy I thought I was riding into his garden but he beckoned me to keep going and although the track didnt look much it suddenly emerged onto a bigger one going in two directions
I am surprised at the amount of tracks out here going off in all directions that dont show on the GPS map, weather permitting I will be out here again tomorrow
At 2 pm and its raining now, I stop for a drink and can hear thunder, riding on these tracks in rain isnt a problem, no need to even slow down
If my calculations are correct this track should lead me to a track that shows on the OSM map and joins a track I was on yesterday
It did and I made the link up, its raining a lot harder now and I think its time to head home, the track I am on was rode yesterday and I know its a porous surface so no problems with getting stuck or sliding around
As I join the 3131 the heavens open up
It was a very wet ride home but a very enjoyable days ride also
