Brilliant fun yesterday in Khao Kiao! We were supposed to be 4 but unfortunately one had to cancel due to illness; he missed a fun day!
Big respect to Rob, he'd never ridden off road before and we threw him in the deep end and he came out all smiles :lol: (Ok, I'm lying about the smiles, but at least he survived and hasn't put the KLX up for sale, so I reckon that's a positive sign) :thumbup:
We begin at the Cemetery Trail (so named because you have to ride through a Chinese cemetery to reach it.)
According to Brian people are just DYING to get in here :crazy: (Warning- the jokes do not get any better...) :lolno:
Rob's first time on dirt- he did damn well! What he lacks in skill he makes up for in sheer brute strength and determination! :clap:
Check out that smile- looks like he's having fun so far!
Turns out the trails change quickly here. Reckon every rainy season re-shapes the area big time. Lots of dead ends like this-
Continuing south on some sandy farm roads brings us to some more single track-
Mostly we could work our way around or through. Came to another dead end that, according to Brian's GPS used to go through to a nearby dirt road. Seems a long way if we backtrack so we hike a little ways to see if it's doable. I have my doubts...
But we decide to go for it! I go first, get tangled up in some vines, but make it through-
Rob goes next, no drama.
Then Brian, the Banana Killer bashes his way through :lol-sign:
