Paul’s side of the ride, written most evenings in English.

Day 98 Paul · 73 km

Mueang Uttaradit to Mueang Phrae

Just before 9:30am we arrived at the border and as usual the peak of the hills. The climb was easier than our last because the grade was constant and ongoing. It just kept going…

Mueang Uttaradit

We had a day off in Sukhothai, so we can take some photos and enjoy the historical town. It was a nice day, but it was raining in the morning. We hoped that the next day wouldn’t…

Mueang Sukhothai

Today a couple of things happened. First, I was feeling totally normal again and our cycling was back where it was, which was good news since we’ve got so many hills ahead of us.…

Mueang Petchabun to Chun Daen

Petchabun and province #50

When we arrived, I wanted Pizza. Not many pizza restaurant choices out here so we rang Pizza Company, 1-1-1-2. They’ll even deliver to your hotel room. Natt spent 10 minutes…

Day 83 Paul · 109 km

Mueang Chaiyaphum to Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima

Today we used Google maps to plot a course and it worked just fine. It shaved 10-15 km off the trip and took us down 50 kms of mostly sealed country roads. Sometimes the rewards…
