Day 134 – We’ve been rolling faster in Nakhon Sawan
The last couple of days we’ve been cycling over 24 km/hour, but the day have only been short 60-70kms. The bicycle is working find and we’re obviously just that little bit stronger for climbing the hills. Kampaenh Phet and Nakhon Sawan don’t really seam to be outstanding cities, they’re full of chinese shophouses, busy, industrial. […]
Day 131 – Salokbat, Kampaeng Phet
Yesterday was capital city of Kampaeng Phet, the city itself was not much to talk about although we didn’t explore it very much. It does run along the Ping River and also has historical ruins which are world listed but we didn’t visit them. Or visit to this city revolved around eating, resting and relaxing. […]
Day 128 and 129 – Theon / Mueang Tak
Day 128 – Theon Theon is a dive, it’s a town with no decent hotel and truck runway down the middle and nothing remarkable. The only good thing about today was the 20 or so riders that cam out with us from lampangbike.com and cycled with us for 25kms. They where a great and friendly […]
Day 127 – Lampang
Today was our last big hill, it was mostly painless but slow… a long incline that lasted forever, especially with 15kg extra back on the bike, but it was rewarded with a long and steady downhill for around 20kgs down the top of what I believe is the central plains. Ride was fine, the welcome […]
Day 126 – Past Mueang Lamphun
Today we left Chiang Mai, I don’t mind the city I like it a little more each time I visit but I can remember the first time I visited didn’t think much of it at all. We visited TAT Office, then cycled towards Natt aunties house, and past it. That was not the plan so […]
Day 124 – Arriving in the flats of Chiang Mai
Leaving the hills, today we cycled 95km the longest we’ve done for awhile. Mostly because it was a solid downhill and in the flats. We’ve only have one real ‘lump’ to make it over before it’s plan sailing. People have told me we will miss the hills, I know I’ll miss some of them, but […]
Day 121-122 Mae Hong Son and back to Pai
Right, 47% of all our climbing has been done in the month of September! Any only about 15% of our kilometre. It has been a hard month, so very hard. We snapped a chain, pushing/rolling the bicycle 17kms or so. We when up grades of 15% we rubbed all the braking material off our rear […]
Day 117-118 Rafting into Mae Hong Son
We’ve just spend 2 days off the bicycle rafting into Mueang Mae Hong Son from amphur Pai, the river was medium level the ride was fun not scary. It was maybe 12 hours on the water over two days, and stayed in very simple camp on the banks of the river. We choose Thai Adventure […]
