The 3I/ATLAS 14 Day Ride

[Gregthemagnificent]

We will be in Chiang Mai soon, starting our ride on Christmas day.
Staying at the Chirin Home again and bikes from C & P Big Bike Rentals.
If everything goes according to plan, we will be riding some classics such as the 1148, 1081, 1093.
And a few roads we haven’t been on. No challenging remote dirt roads this time.

Wow. Interesting.

Wonder exactly what the inspiration is & exactly what they are supposed to represent?

We tried to ride the 1175 to Tak, but were stopped at a check point and they wouldn’t let us pass. Said something about foreigners and immigration. So took hwy 12 instead.
Turned off hwy1 onto the 1010, then back roads to Si Satchanalai
Accommodation at Sisatchanalai Heritage Resort

Sisatch is gorgeous, much better than the Sukhothai ruins IMHO.

This wat outside the main historical site is also fantastic
