Mr and Mrs Bailey over to Chiang Rai so had chance to ride out with them and Jim on a sweltering hot day. It was decided to take the looping ride around Doi Bo up to the church of the Nazarene a ride thats almost impassable in the wet season.
A short video of the day, the bit you want to see is at around 3 minutes in

The start is semi graded in readiness for the wet season rain.
