Looks like lots of fun in the mud, thanks Max.

Not sure, all I know is some thai guys where talking about a enduro race the 25th, up the buggy trail (soi 1), down the rock tower (rutty hill behind mark's) but doesn't really match the description "Enduro Cross Racing".

Also main picture is a trial bike but I can't see any trials competition.

What a shame I missed the shopping competition already, the girlfriend/s will be furious

I'd like to know more about the Mountain Bike competition on 11 August if anyone finds out

Alex, when are they bringing Steve Peet back? November?

The shopping thing could be the kart actually, judging from the location. Mon Cham is where they always take off.

Just noticed this posted on FB.

For those who can't read, 500 baht inscription. 3 categories:
1) enduro open and MX bikes
2) enduro production 250
3) senior 40+
Rest are the supercup bikes.

Also there is a "vip" class where you get a trophy but no price money and it's 1000 baht inscription fee instead of 500.

Steve Peat is coming for the Downhill race on 1/2 November, also coming is his teammmate Josh Bryceland, Nico Vink, Wyn Masters etc
Looks more organized this time with bike transport from Chiang Mai, shuttles etc

11th August: Thailand Mountain Bike Competition at Sirikit Botanic Garden at 9 a.m.
I checked today, was told starts there at 1300hrs, but noone knew what kind of event it is, except
"thai bicycle champion" will be there
I have a number to call in the morning so I'll post here asap.
If anyone wants to share transport there with a bicycle I'd be interested

So I am told there is a charity walk to Qn Sirikit Botanical gardens tomorrow (sunday 11 aug), but noone knows about cycling
And there is some cycle event there 18 August at 6am, or something
