Going to try to make this one. Just rode the 1150 last week from the 118 to Phrao and it is in great shape but a bit of slick moss in the shady areas with all the late rains. One of my favorite routes.

David, what is the cut-off date for reservations/numbers attending? Not sure yet how many from CR will go but can I publish the cut-off date and maybe get some numbers for you.

Maybe David is busy, as not replied yet. I think if we can get an idea of numbers by Sunday am, it gives us time to give enough notice to C and C.

Hi guys, we're just back from a week riding around the North. Would love to join you for the lunch if it's not too late? We're back on cheap little Honda Waves at the mo, though, so will probably just meet you at C&C rather than slow you all down on the ride out! Unless we can organise hiring something bigger before then...

OK to see you there, or are we too late?

Definately not to late, leaving at 9.45am Wednesday from the PTT or 12.30pm at Cabbages and Condoms would be fine also.
Have added you to the buffet lunch numbers, and look forward to meeting up tmro.

On small bikes it will be quicker for you, but less interesting to go direct on the 118, Chiang Rai road, we will be coming back that way. However if you like the much quieter 1001, Phrao road and the very scenic and quite twisty 1150, then if still on small bikes you could meet us at the PTT in Phrao, as the last section will be about as quick on your small bikes. We expect to be in Phrao from about 10.45 to maybe 11.15.
Please do post when you decide what route you will take and we will know where to expect to meet you

Hi John, that's great, thanks! We couldn't get the bikes we wanted till later tomorrow, so will be on the Waves. Not sure what time we'll get going, so best just to say that we'll meet you at C&C - will decide on route depending on getting up early enough for the interesting one!
Looking forward to meeting you all, Merry Chrimble :happy1:

Thanks for the invite, guys. T'was a nice time. We should do that more often.

I was glad to catch up with some previous acquaintances and to meet some other good folks for the first time. And it was perfect weather for a day jaunt out and back.

Well despite missing the ride and the lunch in such a spectacularly crap fashion, we enjoyed our wild waves ride out, and it was great to chat to those of you we got to meet - maybe next time we'll get our act together and be in on more of it! Keep it shiny side up :mrgreen:
