The Route 108, 3005
Total Distance 166 km
I turn onto the 3005 then after about 300 metres take a right to ride along a narrow paved surface to Huai Goo
Nicely balanced and away she goes
In Huai Goo
I ride through the village and on the way back take a left at N18.08.159 E098.07.841 onto a dirt track that the ESRI shows as going on southwards for a km or 2
An irrigation channel runs along here
I was standing on the edge of a landslip taking this photo not being able to see what was underneath
The view from the other side shows it to be a bit precarious back there
I am off the GPS now and no idea whatsoever where this track goes to, I can see some houses to my right up in the hills
The track now goes off in three directions
I take the right
Not far and its a dead end
The middle track goes further
Then it too stops at the river, I can no longer see those houses and now think it was probably near to Doi Liam south of and just past Mae Ho
Back in Huai Goo and the dirt track started from behind the water filters
I ride back towards the 108 and at N18.08.249 E098.07.893 I take a right onto another dirt track that leads back across to the 3005 emerging onto asphalt at N18.08.163 E098.08.494.
A short ride south on the 3005 then a left onto a paved road that goes through a small village, the road turns to dirt at N18.07.715 E098.08.961
I have rode past where the ESRI showed it going too and back a bit there was another turning which I am hoping will link up with another track which shows up further on
I am in luck as this unshown track links up with the other one and will take me back to the 108
The road suddenly turns to paved at N18.08.171 E098.09.768 and just past here I can look down on a village which I imagine is Pa Bong
A stop in the village for a snack, I take a right in the village to ride to the end of the paved road then turn round and ride on through towards the 108
It was a left onto the 108 then another left onto the 3005 followed by another left onto this unknown road to ride to Kong Koi
I have not rode along here for about three years now and its still a crap surface as usual
At Kong Koi its a right to ride to where I finished yesterday to do some more exploring
I take a left to ride around a village and explore some tracks that go out from here
The dirt starts at N18.02.265 E098.10.052
One thing I am noticing is the temperature change today, after 3pm its rather cool riding out here and riding back along the 108 it was rather chilly until about 10 km before Mae Sariang when I descended to a much lower altitude
Some of these show on the ESRI and some dont but they are all dead ends and just farm access roads
I ride back and around the village in the other direction then the final track of the day was dirt starting from N18.02.564 E098.10.061
Just another access track
On the way back to Kong Koi and another fire has been started
