Mae On to Mae Kampong in November
A 128 km day loop out of Chiang Mai — up through Mae On on the classic climb to Pa Miang and Mae Kampong, then home past Huai Hong Khrai. Two bikes, a tree down across the concrete, a leech, and the edge of a storm. Plus the National Park signs now up on the Pa Miang road.

Mae Sa to Mae Chaem, The Long Way — in a Day
The Mae Sa to Mae Chaem route is 119 km of dirt. Its start is 109 km from my house, so riding it in a day came to 336 km and just under ten hours. A CRF250L, no rain, a 22-minute coffee in Mae Chaem, and the last 108 km home in the dark over Doi Inthanon.
