15-11-19 Chiang Mai-Ulysses Group Ride To The Tha Chomphu Bridge

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 223 km

We take the 1317 out of town then pick up the 2047 road that follows a canal to H 11



Everytime I have used this road the cows are always seen







Everyone in the group was happy to ride this road







A quick stop just as we were about to reach H 11

At the Tha Chomphu white bridge there was excitement when this reticulated python was found in the toilet block





Fun over as the python makes its escape, it was lucky not to have been put on the menu here





A train whistles past but its only a freight train



Pork lasagna 139 Baht, garlic bread 30 Baht at Gecko Garden

Brilliant ride, as always, thanks Colin. How are you finding riding in groups?

 

[Captain_Slash]

I am fine with group rides Ian, the hardest part is finding people to ride with on a regular basis as I am out riding every day and not many people have the same amount of spare time that I do.
I am glad to be out on the rides with you all and am eternally grateful you are all prepared to keep waiting for the slow boring old fart on the Honda Wave

Ha ha.... waiting? Always fun chasing you through the twisties. And, young fella... you might be old, but you aren't as old (or as boring) as some.
