Hello all.
Nov. 10, 2012, a Saturday, is the date for the next Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride.
This date will coincide with some other bike related events in Northern Thailand. For any of you who aren’t attending any of those, we hope you will join us for a pleasant day ride.
The route for this one has been called by Ian and is looking great . The route will take us north and west of Chiang Rai, into some great hill/mountain riding. Ian’s words concerning this route- “I have the route sorted for the November ride and a real cracker it is, too. Takes in some of the best scenery in CR province.”
Mark your calendars and make your room reservations if you need them.
Maps, stops and other details for that ride will be posted soon.
Also of note: The over-nighter to Nan in December is a sure thing. Detailed planning will begin soon. If you have input on that ride, please e-mail your advice and experiences to us. If you would like to attend the planning meeting in early November, let us know what date you can attend and we will try to schedule a planning meeting for a date that works for you. We will have a rib BBQ and more on the day/evening prior to the Nan ride. More details coming on that.

This from Ian:
Chiang Rai Bikers 10th November ride. Back roads of Doi Tung.This ride will take in some of the finest scenery in Chiang Rai province, over the wonderful little used (but good tarmac) back roads of Doi Tung.Beware, there are quite a few junctions on this route and it will be easy to take the wrong turn, then you will miss some of the best scenery.Total distance 190 klms approx.Note; Much of this route is not fast (except the highway 1 sections) and will be ridden in low gears, some of it in 1st gear, so it will be a day long ride.Meet at the PTT petrol station on highway 1, in Chiang Rai at 08:30Depart Chiang Rai 09:00.The route. Black is the morning route and Yellow is the afternoon route.
Head north on highway 1and turn left at Mae Chan onto 1089.Go 7.4 klms and stop at Amy Coffee shop for morning coffee and cakes.
After coffee, go 8.7 klms through Huai Ma Hin Fon and turn right here;
Go over the mountain on a minor road and through the Mae Salong Forest Park, then after 12.6 klms turn left here;
You are now on the 1234 heading for Doi Mae Salong.After 6 klms, turn right here (flashing light on the right);
After 6.2 klms, turn right at the King’s Picture, here;
Head down the hill and after 1 klm, take sharp left turn here, uphill:
You are then on the 1338 north.After 7.6 klms turn left here for Samakki Mai;
After 5.9 klms turn right (straight on) follow sign to Samakki Gao;Then after another 1.2 klms turn left here to Huai Pu here;
Then after 6.6 klms go right to Huai Khrai, Mae Chan & Mae Sai;(next three photos/signs are at the same junction)
You should pass through Ban Pha Bur;
At this point (below) you will now go uphill through TEN consecutive hairpin bends (amazing……..);
After 9 klms turn right here to Huai Khrai on the 1148 Royal road (wide smooth tarmac);
After about 4 klms of swoopy fast tarmac, take the right turn up the hill for about 1.6 klms to the King’s Mother’s Villa. Go right up to the top, at the end of the car parking and you will see bike parking up on the left. Down to the left hand side here are 4 little restaurants serving regular Thai lunch food; Kao Mun Gai, Kao Ka Mu, Kao Soi Gai etc.Or, across to the right is the Doi Tung coffee shop that sells huge macadamia nut cookies that are delicious....After lunch, head back the same way on the same swoopy roads, past the turn off (photo above) and keep to this main road with central yellow line.After 10.8 klms from the Royal Villa, turn left uphill here;Signposted to Doi Chang Mub and Mae Sai.
After about 1.5 klms you will come to The Arboretum, take the right fork signposted to Mae Sai here;
You will go over Doi Chang Mub, highest mountain on the ridge here at 1512m (it will be cool in November). There is a great viewpoint over Burma, on the left hand side here at the army camp. Then you come down off the mountain and through an army checkpoint.Tell the soldier you are going to Mae Sai and no problem (they may ask to see passport or driving licence and note the number down).Then moving on, pass the Burmese army camp on the left. You are now on the wonderful 1149 ridge road.The first right turn is signposted to Bahn Pa Hi. If you wish to take this turn, go about 500 metres down into the village, follow the sign to the Village Head man’s house, Khun Alan. He will sell coffee beans there at a very good price, grown by the Akha village people there. Great views from here too.Moving on down the mountain, further on, past more hairpin bends and stunning views, keep going downhill on this road, turn left at the Pa Mee Training Centre, past a couple of small sois, then take the right turn at the bend in the middle of Bahn Pa Mee. Ride down through the Akha village brick road and out past the limestone karsts and past the strawberry farm on the right. Great scenery (photo below is looking back to the mountains).
You will come out on highway 1, about 60 north of Chiang Rai.Turn left, then do a U-turn and head back south. Drive slowly here, then stop and ask the lovely “strawberry girls” when they will have some fresh strawberries.When heading south after passing the checkpoint, Banoffee on the left sells good coffees.Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday 10th November.

Very comprehensive and thorough.
You will lose some potential riders though. The pix shows it wet and raining and they wont take a chance.
Great ride. Have fun.
