Every riding day was recorded on GPS. These maps now live on each day’s story.
Erawan, Loei to Mueang Loei
4th day of cycling in a row without a break. It has been hard. It’s been 350kms, and that’s more than I like to do in 4 days of riding… I really don’t like 4 days in row. 3 and 1…
Nong Wua So, Udon Thani to Erawan, Leoi via Mueang Nong Bua Lum Phu
Distance 75.6km – Elevation 377m – Time 03:52:54. We cycled from the edge of one province to the next, crossing the whole of Nong Bua Lum Phu in only 76kms. Nong Bua Lum Phu is a…
Meaung Nong Khai to Mueang Udon Thani and Beyond
Started late, as we only planned to ride to Udon Thani today. We managed to reach Udon Thani by noon and after we visited the post office and TAT Office we had to decide what to…
Mueang Bueng Kan to Mueang Nong Khai

Maha Sarakham to Khon Kaen
Today was a rainy day, but we had a fairly easy ride. The last 10kms with the wind behind us blew us straight into town, which was great. We visited the Tourism office and then…
Roi Et to Maha Sarakham
We’ve had a great run of great bicycle shops in these lesser known, or less famous, Isan provinces. Today, we visited Ban Rot Teep (House of the Push Vehicle, or obviously, Push…
Mueang Kalasin to Mueang Roi Et
Kalasin has a nice bicycle shop and a nice Hotel, but it was not a very pretty city. The city seemed to be full of businesses, especially in the area we visited. A very typical…
Sahatsakhan to Mueang Kalasin and 50% complete
We rode 35kms today, which put us into our 39th province and over the half way mark on our trip. Now we have only 38 provinces more to go and around 4,500 kms by all calculations.…
