The route 1090
Total distance 121 km
I head south on the 1090 to explore new dirt
Dirt starts at N16.56105 E098.70733
A good wide open surface mostly today
No complaints about the scenery either
In a village at N16.62510 E098.76022
This seems more like a prison camp than a village what with the fences everywhere
That petrol chainsaw sure beats a handsaw anyday
Riding on I pass through a village at N16.64685 E098.74678
Once past the village the track turns a lot rockier for a while
Then its back to the easier surface
Now riding in the forest and the surface is still wet under the trees
I leave a waypoint here and turnaround as this track isnt going to where I hoped it was
A few side tracks are tried but they all end as dead end farm access tracks
Some of the chilli pickers seem to like the KLX
Another village at N16.64145 E098.73248
When they have finished cutting that field by hand theres plenty more to keep them occupied
The KLX is in its element exploring these new tracks today
I am glad that lorry turned off before reaching me looking at the cloud of dust folowing it
I ride to the 105 where dirt finishes at N16.57145 E098.67558 then turn around to try out another track back to the 105
From here its a short hop to the 105 where dirt finishes at N16.57236 E098.66002
Back at my guest house another bike has arrived, I like the panniers and the fuel can, the panniers certainly look like they have seen some action
Spicy chicken curry with coconut milk at Sara's Restaurant 80 Baht
