Chiang Mai-Yang Moen-Off Road To Pa Pae

[Captain_Slash]

The route 108, 121, 1269, 5032, 4029, 1095, 3009, 107

Total distance 188 km

Some shots from the 4029 between Samoeng and Yang Moen

I have reached Yang Moen and now I am on a concrete road heading north east to ride to Pa Pae on the 1095

The unpaved/dirt starts at N18.59.787 E098.34.786

An easy enough track with great scenery and my first time along here too

A few villages are passed through on the dirt section today

Here and there is the odd short stretch of concrete, but only mainly in the villages

Sod getting the front wheel stuck down that gap

There are places where the track is quite rutted but no problems there

Loads of strawberries growing out here

Another good fun days riding on the dirt and I found more off shoots to try out next time I ride out this way

The surface turns to paved at N19.06.944 E098.42.554

Riding along the 3009

A very good fish and chips for 150 Baht at Pinkys Wings for tea tonight, not John Dory but another tasty sea fish

Colin, thats a nice loop, about 3km short of the 1095 is where the Toy Ride went last year for a give-away. It was the village on the right new where you did a bit of a dogleg.

What is that archway you show being built actually for? Is it the road way (back entrance) to that temple on the top of the mountain with the weird funnel wheel wind thingymajig?

Yes it was definitely a lovely loop Ally.

I have absolutely no idea what the archway is for though or where it goes to, its something to find out next trip though
