WHAT A FUN DAY. It was relatively hot and the surface hadn't quiet soaked up the wet yet, so it was partially very slippery and traction was not to be found today.
Today we tried the B-section of a famous Chiang Mai Hill-climb, some call it "LMS" or "Last man standing", this trek is nasty, but also a lot of fun.
I was surprised how unfit I was, almost two month no riding, turned me into a couch potato with little to no stamina, I think I am getting old and need to exercise more to keep in shape, especially when you go on rides like this.
I didn't fall off the bike but had several encounters with jungle vines that kept grinding into my skin, while trying to get thru the bush, a few bamboo rods scraped my face, George lost his shoe sole while hitting hard on a rock and dislocated his middle foot bone.
Enough blah blah blah.....here's the video...hope you enjoy:
