Two Days on the Burma Border: Fang, Thaton and Doi Mae Salong
Two days from Chiang Mai to the Myanmar border and back, on a CRF250L and a CRF300L. Turned back twice on day one — then a park ranger pointed us at the road that made the trip.

Mae Taeng to Chiang Dao Dirt Bike Day Ride — Rocky Ridge to San Pak Kia
A 71 km green-season day ride between Mae Taeng and Chiang Dao — red clay two-track up to a 1,460 m ridge, a tree down across the trail, cloud and rain over the top, then coffee at Ma Doo Doi under the Doi Luang Chiang Dao massif and a long lunch at Jerns. Two riders, a CRF250L and a CRF300L.

Blocked by Deadfall, Then Over Doi Mon Angket: A Samoeng to Mae Rim Day Ride
A 54 km Sunday out of Samoeng in the middle of the rains. Part one was a disused village link trail that we turned around on — two big trunks down across a steep, wet descent, and no sane way to get four bikes over them. Part two went over the shoulder of Doi Mon Angket instead, down to noodles in Ban Kung, and then into the red clay that put most of us on the floor and sheared a set of handlebar risers 20 km from tarmac.
