Out along the 4005 and that looks a bit of a tricky climb

The 1007 is another fun twisty road

At the start of the 6011 and this looks at first like a giant km marker but I have no idea what it says

I saw coffee out drying everywhere today

The start of the brilliant 6011s bends, I am riding it from the opposite direction today

This road doesnt seem to be on maps but at least its been recorded by gps and the track is available

This road is just one continuous bend

Visibility isnt so good this morning and the hole in the cliff is not visible for the first time that I have ridden along here

At the crossroads at N10.12.561 E098.56.037 I take a right onto the 4014 and along here as I look to my left the hole is now visible

I reach the 4139 and turn left onto it to ride a section of it that I have never been on before

I reach where the 4139 splits then turn around to ride its entire length back towards Ranong

The 4139 is another fun twisty hilly road

I take a left onto an unnumbered road that goes for a few km then turns to dirt at N10.01.995 E098.52.350, as its saturday lots of kids out playing, this bunch were very friendly, as soon as I got the camera out they quickly grouped together for the photo

I ride back then before reaching the 4139 take a left and now I am on the 5023 which takes me back to the 4139 where this old Kawasaki looks a bit neglected
