Chiang Mai-Pang Kwao-Nong Hoi Loop

[Captain_Slash]

The route 107, 1096, 4027, 4017,

Total distance 163 km

Along the 4027 and this greenery growing up the wall makes for good viewing

Some good curves are enjoyed along this road

Now I am on the 4017

Oh dear looks like trouble ahead

They appear a little concerned

This reservoir is a little fuller than when I was here in november

I ride to near Pang Kwao then take a track that should take me to Doi San Chon

After a while it turns to an unpaved track

There is a reservoir along here that I wasnt expecting to see

Completely full

To get on my track I need to cross an irrigation canal, I walk over first for a look and its this narrow single track so I decide to give it a miss

I walk back to the bike and decide to try somewhere else

Back towards the first reservoir and the lorry is still in there

I take a right to ride the 4027

Its certainly good scenery up here

And after a hit and miss first stretch the surface is now very good too

The Aura drinking water factory

Erawan reservoir

Everything seems to have collapsed here, the building and the bridge

I wouldnt even walk over let alone ride over it

Two new friends approach me to investigate

Pork T bone and fries for 170 Baht at See Paak restaurant at the GT-Riders dinner tonight

Is this a reverse osmosis procedure here?

Looks great, especially from pissing-down Oregon. Did the Samoeng loop last Monday, then counter-clockwise Tuesday. Had I been around for this ride I'd have invited myself. Man, how I miss Chiang Mai for the riding and spots like Rider's Corner. Hope to ride with you sometime when I claw my way back over there!

I have no idea what it is Phil but I thought Aura was a natural spring water according to the bottle, it ought to be considering the price of it
