Total Distance 226 km
The riders

Captain_Slash Kawasaki KLX 250
Sadly Con had to go back to Chiang Mai early this morning so today it was just the three of us, we took the 1080 to past Pua then took a right onto the 4001
We took a left onto a dirt track at N19 16.311 E101 00.839 to ride to the one we were exploring yesterday until we lost it
Another pleasant easy going one that went quite steeply downhill for a while
We reach the track that we couldnt get on yesterday and turn left onto it to ride to where we lost it
Here is where we should be crossing to stay on the track but its a no go
Phil goes off scouting for a way round and decides we can ride along the river bed to cross over
We manage to get across then its off up this rutted overgrown track
After riding up a narrow track this gate blocks our progress
I climb over to view whats on the other side and its another gate
Plus this is the track
Even without the gates blocking our way this is what the track becomes.
We were told yesterday that it didnt go through and that appears to be correct
Its time to turn around and ride on the last section of this track which apart from possibly about 2 km was explored by us
Up until this point the track was quite easy
Then it got a lot harder and here Heinz needs a helping push to get going again
Deep ruts and a rocky terrain make for slow going and the fan on the KLX is working overtime until we reach the 4001
At the 4001 we stop in a village for much needed refreshments and a cooling break
Now to enjoy the rest of the 4001 for only my second time
Looking back at the village where we stopped.
Another fun days riding and exploring
Roast beef, yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, baked onion plus gravy at Tonys Place for 230 Baht
