The route 1090, 4016
Total distance 134 km
Lars, a round the world rider from Sweden was staying at my guest house in Mae Sot last night and we swapped info.
He will be in Chiang Mai shortly for the Horizons Unlimited meeting
Lars leaves for Mae Sariang
Along the 4016
Dirt starts at N16.51823 E098.75314 and soon takes me to a small village at N16.51594 E098.75819
I ride out the back of the village but the track finishes so its a turnaround and ride back to the 4016
Mothers picking the peanuts
While the kids sit in the shade
The 4016 is a lovely well surfaced twisty road
Dirt starts again at N16.53805 E098.76398 and soon takes me to a village at N16.54282 E098.76502
Now to head northwards exploring more new tracks and hoping to find my way over to the 105
Mainly this easy going dirt today
Those kids look like their faces could do with a wash
I follow a track heading south east as its heading towards a waypoint I left before
It deviates away from my waypoint and reaches the asphalt road at N16.56874 E098.81645 in a village
I turn around and ride back as I want to explore northwards
According to the Garmins GPS map there should be a track going through there but it looks a bit overgrown to me
I saw a dirt track going up over the hills just now and thought this is going to work out
Then moments later the track turns to single track with this as the crossing, I wouldnt even walk over that
I ride back a bit then just explore other side tracks
Thats the end of this track as far as I am concerned
Riding back I pass these again
I reach the paved surface at N16.55188 E098.70831
Spicy chicken masala curry at Sara's Restaurant 80 Baht
