A loop out through Samoeng, to Yang Moen & then off raod to Pong Sa & through to Pa Pae.
Once again inspired by Slash & his post on 2nd January, I wanted to see what was at the top of those steps.
It was well worth the effort. Puffing & panting, I emerged into the forest [...]

After last years failure to find this little gem, today on the spur of the moment with absolutely no ties, I thought this route would make an excellent start to the year.
Starting at Hang Dong I rode the canal road to Mae Wang and then out to Mae Win.
I took the right turn at the [...]

After another very hectic week and feeling the stresses & strains of work, I needed a break & my friend John was feeling the same.
We needed a ride-fix and I suggested we do a loop through Chae Son, maybe even reach Chae Hom Dam.
It was a fresh start with the sun low in the sky, [...]

Today was the first ride in a while, been so busy with working full time and the last few weekends have been full with family commitments.
John was also eager to get out & I had a mission, to give a dog a shower at the School for Life.
I met John in Sankamphaeng and we tootled [...]

Today I cleared 2 railway stations from the ‘to-do’ list. It also gave me the chance to take the Yamaha out on a cruise and enjoy the comfy armchair one more time.
People have referred to the bike as ‘a brick’ but I think that’s a bit unfair. Sure it’s heavy but it moves really well [...]

Just to make sure John didn’t go hungry, we arranged to start our ride from the Kao Soy shop opposite the Police Station in Hang Dong. Delicious!
Off down to Sanpatong on the 108 and we took the right to join the 1013 to Mae Wang.
I wanted to share the roads around Mae Wang with John, [...]

Riders: Jeff, Ian, John, Con, Jamie, Richie, Neal, Ron, Bob, Stan, Mark, Wes
For some reason that I didn’t quite get, Jeff & a few others said they wanted to ride with me out on one of my previous tracks around the Samoeng area.
Well the call went out on the GT forum inviting folks to come [...]

John & I met up at Meechok Plaza for what was obviously going to be a little bit of a wet ride, from looking at the sky in front of us but we didn’t know it was going to be so muddy.
We made our way up the 1001, the 121 and then across to the [...]

Saturday is a great day to ride, if you had breakfast already. But for John, as usual, it was a nightmare as he was starving well before lunch time and there were no places open to eat.
We met up on the 1317 near the junction with the 1006 and road up the 1317 and took [...]

Another nice ride with John today. Starting out near Ban Thi, we meandered up towards San Kampaeng stopping at many reservoirs along the way.
First stop was Mae Tip Reservoir which we rode to on un-numbered irrigation canal roads. This one I had not been to before but John told me this was where he often [...]
