Total distance 201 km

We met on the 1269 and headed off to Samoeng on a cloudy morning

On the 4029

Phil had to leave us here to get back to prepare for the Horizons Unlimited meeting tonight so now its just Ally and myself

We dont actually encounter any rain but are often riding on wet roads

Its a lunch break in Yang Moen then off along a dirt road that doesnt show on the GPS

Thankfully this is a dry track with bulldust in places rather than wet clay

A dull overcast days ride today

We emerge onto the 6033/4021 depending on either the GPS or the road sign and ride a loop back to Samoeng

A new building going up in Samoeng

It will be interesting to see it when its finished

Lasagna at Pizza N Pasta for 129 Baht

Great riding with you both after a couple of months break, looked like you'd put on a few pounds Colin after the huge meals ay Tonys Place in Nan, map below.
