Single Track Heaven - Chiang Mai Thailand – Doi Suthep - Enduro ride with the Red Lions.

[EndoJim]

The group met up at my shop and left around 8:30am. (CRF300, KLX150, 2-KLX140 and a smartass on a KLX110)


The Red Lion crew is a great group of talented Thai riders with outstanding trail etiquette and an extensive knowledge of the local trails. Bee on the KLX110 actually loaned his tricked out KLX140 to his friend so he could join us. Great dude

Honestly, I was disappointed to see him pull up on the little bike, as it was my turn to lead the ride. I had planned to take them up Bamboo, down LMS and then down Makkanin through Ob khan but this would have surely swamped the little 110. Have to say in the end Bee went everywhere wanted to go. Granted he beat the hell out of himself and the bike. Pretty impressive actually…

About a quarter of the way up Bamboo

KLX110

Friendly Down Hill mountain bikers on a couple sweet machines

We stopped at Doi Pui for a bowl of soup and a little Hydration.

On top of the world (Suthep) just before descending down to the big toe.

Three friendly Thai lady trekkers.

Nice, those little 110's are in many ways perfect especially if your vertically challenged

Headed down the back side of Suthep.

The trails were in was great condition

Action shot nearing the 1269

Great day out with a great crew.

And this is what happens when you show up on a KLX110... In the Doghouse with Moto you go

Hey. How can I get in contact with this team. I'm visiting Thailand and I'm dying to add dirt biking to my riding skills. Can anyone help me out? Ride with me? Teach me some basics? Suggest anyone who just loves to ride?

Do you guys have anything planned for Tuesday and Wednesday? Its my last two days in Thailand and all my plans to go dirt bike riding with people failed!! I tried to go out yesterday on my own and ended up somewhere deep in the first alone and had some troubles, it was crazy but I got myself out eventually.
I was really hoping to learn some skills on the dirt bike, so if there is anyone willing to help me or ride with me or anything these last two days PLEASE HOOK ME UP!!
