Yeah North is fun with often 11 degrees (in Maerim) in the morning! Even shower is not hot :(!

I like the Google maps but have to find out how to draw it properly, particularly for slightly different itineraries than the proposed one. It gives easy overview about tours, without searching route numbers on maps.

Any advise?

Google maps are really easy to work with and only what you need to find is your "Starting" point, then on your mous right click and point get direction from here and then zoom your map to large scale and then when you find your next turning point "Right" click again and to here and you will get route drawed to you, then next and same with mouse.

IF your route is not what you wanted MOVE your point little bit back wards as then Maps will automatically re-dreaw it, then then yu get your whole round as you wanted then in your computer Key board there is"Print Screen button (PRTSC) PUSH THAT and you had your page coied, then open your picture editing program or microsoft paint and then paste or CTRL-V (Paste) and you will get screen picture to there, and then you cn Crop it, this should work

Yeah Marco you must have been really bored !!! Doing this pothole slalom and then go home during dusk and dark with all kinda insects and flies sticking all over your front is no joy.......especially with oncoming Somchai's pick-up having the highbeams on and not reacting to your flashing lights, or unlighted 'Iten' riding 5kms/hr, without lights naturally. You know the stationary one pot Diesel driven agrisomethings.......55555.
What happened to your hand usually it's more stable and fotos aren't that blurred, ahhhhhhhh couldn't get back home quick enough to your sofa and the yellowish chilled fluid :evil: you call beer :twisted: ........ :wink: :? . Cheers, Franz

Thank you Marco, I will try to follow your hints. It is really easier than: scan a map ... stabilo color ... scan again :). It needs a little practice as I have not yet played a lot with Google maps.

I actually LOVE riding night time, especially here as i know all the roads and road from ubon to my home 40Km is NOW 4lane super fastsmooth and i usually done abt 130km/h in that 40km and pissing of Somchais with my 5000K HID head lights and for the record, Im OFF from Chang now few few weeks, just giving my lacy body time to rest....

Day ride was dispite potholes enjoyble but darn hot and i saw new roads and found that i dont need to go anywhere in those roads as there was actually NOTHING to see.
