If I'm back looks like I will be straight on the road with a Kiwi journalist for a story, sorry.
My suggestion (again) would the Chiang Mai - Phrao- Chiang Dao loop, with a "significant' lunch stop at Kurt & Mon's in Chiang Dao. Then ride home down 107 at your own leisure.

The Samoeng Loop sounds nicer, a bit shorter and sweeter than the Chiang Dao loop.

You're bringing a journo' along!! Shocked

Hope he's not looking for any stunt riders out of us Laughing

I am completely open about where we go, but at least it looks like there are people wanting to go, I will get back to Chiang Mai on 23rd and it will be nice to meet up with a few fresh faces coming along on this ride. If we are going to do the route David suggested with the lunch break at Mon&Kurts I must e-mail Kurt to make sure he is open, I know its usually only wednesdays that he closes, the food there is good with very generous portions

Count me in for an afternoon or evening cruise through the countryside - good chance to give the new GF an outing on the 'new' bike Cool

and either route is fine with me.

Is there a plan for Christmas Dinner???
- and if there is not, should there not be? Smile

- ditto, for New Years Eve...

Cheers

Don't mind where we go, but Someong Loop a bit too short, we would be back in time for lunch.

As Ian bungy suggested another option at end of ride is to end up at the X-Centre in mae rim for chrissy eve drinks.....

Sorry guys, I slept in Sad

I blasted up to the X Center to pick up your trail, but no sign of the biking brothers! Sad

Not to worry, they'll be other days... Cool

tropicaljohno · Posted: 24.12.2007, 22:29 Post subject:

Ble Max, you missed a good ride, perhaps next time then....

Perhaps 10-10.30 was too early as there were no new faces on the ride, just 6 of us on 4 bikes

Weather fine and sunny, not too hot, great scenery.... PARADISE
