The following e-mail went out today concerning the Aug. 10 Chiang Rai Bikers Day ride.  Further details will follow next week.  Welcome to all to join us.
Hello all.  I hope this e-mail finds you well.  As always, if you would rather not receive these e-mails, just let me know. I will remove you from the list.  And as always, if you know of someone who would like to be on the mailing list, let me know or have them contact me to be added.

We have a route for the Chiang Rai Bikers day Ride,  August 11.  The route is basically, leave CR PTT  and exit town on the1211 highway (Old Chiang Mai Highway) and head south to the 118, head south on the 118 with the first stop being the Charin Resort for coffee, pie and take a pee.  From Charin Resort, continue south on the 118 to the 120, which right before Mae Kachan.  East (left) on the 120 to Phayao and lunch.  (We will scout out lunch possibilities this week and send further info after the scouting ride).  After lunch, some will head back to Chiang Rai via Highway 1 if they have had enough riding for the day and others will do the previous route in reverse.  The reverse of this route is highly recommended because of the scenery on 120 and the desire to see the area from a different point of view than what was experienced on the way into Phayao.  There will likely be another coffee session at the Charin Resort on the way back to Chiang Rai. (Charin has GREAT pie!)
Any tweaks in the route will be published soon in another e-mail after the scouting ride this coming week.  Google map link for the start point and the route will be published and e-mailed at that time.
Looking forward to seeing you all on August 10.  All bikes, all sizes and styles are welcome as are all riders, regardless of riding style and skills.  The scooter crowd will enjoy this as much as the fast bikers will.  I ride at the back of the group so if you’re a slower rider, we can keep each other company.  I like to see the scenery.  Also, cars and pickup type vehicles are welcome to join us with as many occupants as you care to bring.  We also have one Chiang Rai lady who would like to go along if anyone has an extra seat in a four wheeI vehicle.  Contact me for her contact info.  If it is raining on the 10th, we will push the ride to the 11th.  If it is still raining on the 11th, we will cool our heels and see what the weather is for the following week is.  One way or another, we will get our August ride in with good weather.
Will send out an update at the end of the coming week but plan on joining us for the 10th.

    วันศุกร์ที่   10   สิงหาคมนี้  ใครว่างๆ ไปแอ่วขี่รถมอเตอร์ไซค์กันดีกว่าเจ้า


Hello all.
 
Please note that the Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride for August is going ahead on the 10th (Friday) not the 11th.   If there is big rain that day, we will push the ride back to the 11th.  The Aug. 10 Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride participants will meet at the PTT and Amazon Coffee stop on the super highway (Highway 1) at 08:30 and will depart at 09:00.  The PTT is the one at the junction of the old bus station street and Highway 1.  Grid coordinates for the PTT are 19.90334 and 99.84097  
There is a basic route map at this link- http://goo.gl/maps/Qsx9j
Select satellite view and you can zoom in on Chiang Rai and see the PTT start location in relation to other local landmarks, such as the Highway 1 river bridge (north) and the old bus station (west).  The blue route marker line, with a few negligible errors, shows the route through town and onto highway 1211, then to route 118, then to route 120 and then to Highway 1 and into Phayoa for the lunch break along the lake front.  There is a white coffee cup marker on the route south of Chiang Rai and this indicates the Charin Resort and Café, which is the first  and only “scheduled” stop between Chiang Rai and Phayoa.  Between Charin resort and Phayao, everyone  will stop as needed when they see a place that suits them.  If anyone knows of an ideal spot after Charin resort, let us all know on Friday morning at the PTT.
 
Once lunch has finished, some will make the return trip to CR on the same route they came in on for another view of route 120.  I am told that the return trip on the 120 is as worthy as the ride into Phayoa is.  Others who need to get to CR quicker after lunch will take Highway 1 directly back to CR.  The Highway 1 route is going to be a shorter ride to CR for those that have had enough at Phayao.
 
As always, all bikes and bikers are welcome, slow, fast, big, small and of course, four wheel vehicles are welcome too.  I’ll be bringing up the rear with the slower crowd, 100cc to 200cc.
 
 See you all on the 10th.  Bring your cameras and your friends.  Someone in CM make sure you have JB in tow.

     วันพรุ่งนี้แล้วเน้อเจ้า  ถ้าฝนบ่ตก  เจอกันที่นัดหมาย เช่นเดิมนะคะ  ถ้าตกหนัก ก็คงได้ย้ายไปเป็น วันเสาร์เจ้า


Ride is on for tomorrow, 60% chance of rain, same as today, which was a beautiful day.   Might encounter some rain on the ride but can sit it out and go again.   If we get rained out at meeting time tomorrow, we'll go for Saturday, the 11th.

Hello all.
 
The August 10 ride went well.  All told, we had 26 or 27 bikes participating, some of those were two-up.  We left CR at 09:00 with a fair number of riders and enjoyed an extended coffee break at Charin Resort.   At the junction of 118 and 120, we pulled off the road to regroup and were joined by several more bikes from CM.  Arriving at Phayao, we discovered four more bikers from CR who had missed the 09:00 start time but wanted to make sure they joined us for lunch.  I had guessed that we would have the smallest group yet because of the weather forecast but in the end, we had the most bikes attending to date.  The ride is becoming a little more diversified all the time, with a total of, I think, thirteen Thai citizens joining us at one point or another.  We had a nice variety of bikes, from scooters to the “hog” and of particular note, one CM group was riding the new Honda CRF bikes.  I believe there were five of those, the wife thinks there were seven.
 
We had a nice collection of former participants with us as well as quite a few CR Day Ride first-timers.  It is always nice to see the known friends and the new faces on these rides.  Several times during the day, I heard comments mentioning that it was really great to be meeting new folks and making new acquaintances.  And it is, isn’t it?  I can’t speak for others but for me, this is the one event each month where I can say I have met yet another big group of really fine people who enjoy getting out and doing some of the same things I enjoy doing.  As much as I enjoy spending time with the folks I already know, I am always pleased to ride with a group that has some new faces.  Each ride I attend adds several really nice folks to mine and my wife’s list of acquaintances and for reasons I can only guess at, these rides attract some really, really good people.
 
The wife didn’t get too many pics on this one except for during the stops we made.  We did make a u-turn and get some snaps of a waterfall and then about a minute later, rode by another without stopping to snap it.  And of course, on the 120, there is a scenic turnout very high up where a person can get some nice panoramic snaps of the huge valley and distant mountains but we rode by that one without stopping, too.  I think the wife really wanted to just enjoy the ride and do away with some of the “responsibility” that she typically carries with her.  She did mention that we should have stopped at the scenic overlook though.  My bad.  I’ll post pics in the following threads as I have time to do it and I’ll send a quick e-mail when it is done but as of this mailing, it isn’t done-

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/573228-chiang-rai-bikers-day-ride-aug-10-friday/
 
 
Rain?  What rain?  True, some of us did hit a couple of places where the clouds gathered briefly and spit at us for a minute or two but in the end, biker safety gear and all, I ended up with very minor sunburn.  Temps were cool, the wind was down and the air was smoke-free.  There were some really nice views on the 120 and that road surface was in pretty good condition.  With all of the turns, ups, downs and the good road surface, I see why the road is popular with the faster bikes.  And knowing we were going to be out there on a weekday, I expected quite a bit of traffic but once out of CR, we seemed to have the road to ourselves.  Traffic was so sparse in places that I kept questioning myself as to whether I had the days mixed up and perhaps we were out on a Sunday instead of a Friday.
 
Meeting new people, expats and locals alike, adds so much to the day rides.  Learning from other rider’s extended local knowledge of the surrounding areas and the route is just one benefit of spending time with a group.  Discussing bike’s and bike capabilities also helps one choose more wisely when selecting the next model to be purchased.  With the large selection of bikes participating in these rides and the willingness of the riders to share honest evaluations of their rides, I have learned so much about the advantages and the limitations of the different models and styles of bikes on the market.  For me, every ride is an education in addition to a full, fun, social experience.
 
Another thing I notice on these rides is the safety factor that is observed by fellow riders.  One fellow asked me before the start of this ride what the rules are for riding in a group.  I told him that as far as I know, there really aren’t any hard rules but the one pet peeve I have is not riding in another rider’s blind spot and not having another rider in my blind spot.  If a fellow ever has to swiftly change lanes, he sure doesn’t want to cut off, or collide with, a fellow rider.  And truly, these participants are just as aware of the hazards as I am, which allows me to spend less time on the “defensive” and makes it a more pleasurable ride for me.  I would guess that the fact that so many of the riders are old hands at this and have seen all the mistakes made before is what makes them a very safe group of folks to spend time with on the road.  Thanks to all of you for helping make mine and my wife’s days a less cautious and more pleasurable experience.
 
For September, we do not have a route yet.  A couple of fellows are thinking about calling that ride but if any of you want to lay out the route, let me know.  We have lots of years and lots of rides in the future so anyone and everyone will have a chance to plan a route.  September 10 of this year falls on a Monday and as far as I know, is not a Thai holiday.
 
Overnighter to Nan.  Quite a few folks have expressed an interest in a longer ride, with an overnight stay in Nan.  I am told that the routes there are beautiful and exciting.  Since there is so much interest in this, we will add that ride to the list in the future.  We will wait until the rainy season has subsided so we can get maximum participation.  I think it would be good to make this the usual Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride with everyone going as far as the lunch stop and after lunch, folks needing the day ride only can return to CR via a nice route and those wanting the overnight thing going on to Nan.  However, if others think it would be better to have this on a separate day from the regular day ride, speak up.  I am happy to do two rides that month if necessary.   If any others of you think you have an interest in such an overnighter, please let us know.  One night or two?  Up to you all.  Also, this ride may a good opportunity for some of the not-so far away Issan folks to join us at Nan.  We are getting quite a bit of interest in our rides from the Issan area riders.  At this point, I don’t know if we will need to coordinate overnight rooms in Nan or if we can just show up and be assured lodging.  I’ll poke around and get some answers as we start to get an idea of how many will be going.
 
One other note concerning the overnighter-  I have been thinking that I would like to have a nice group dinner on a night prior to a day ride.  Maybe that overnight ride is a good time to do it.  I am thinking of having an all-you-can-eat BBQ rib, baked potato, Southwest chili and taco feed for the group.  Depending on how many show, we will select a local restaurant that can provide seating, service ware and drinks for however many attend.  I would do the cooking of the ribs, chili and tacos, the restaurant would offer the drinks and whatever menu that they choose.  Folks, I make some mean ribs, some fine chili and do pretty decent tacos so it would be a pretty darned good meal and a good time to visit and socialize.  I wouldn’t want to foot the bill for this but I would like to offer it at cost.  We would set a price for dinner, drinks would be extra from the restaurant and if we made anything over the cost, we can donate it wherever it is needed and if I went in the hole a bit on it, no big deal.  As much as I would like to just provide a nice big free meal in order to get everyone together, the thing would surely be a funeral dinner for me as my wife would break my head.  She watches the money a little more closely than I do.  In fact, she doesn’t know that I am writing this and will soon have me explaining myself to her. HA!  I am not afraid!
 
Okay.  I’ve yacked enough.  Thanks to all who participated in past rides and welcome to all who wish to participate in the future rides.  Any feedback on anything to do with the rides is welcome and will be considered.  We want only for the rides to get better as the years go by.  So far, you folks have helped to make this ride the coolest thing going on in Chiang Rai each month.  Thanks for that.

 This mailing goes out to all on our Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride mailing list.  If you would prefer not to receive this, just let me know and I will remove you from the list.  If you know of someone else who would like to receive this information, please forward this to them and/or have them contact me to be added to the list.  Please feel free to post this to any blogs, bulletin boards or websites that you know of where the information may be useful.  The Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride is typically held on the 10th of each month, allowing some folks a weekend to ride and others a weekday to ride throughout the year.  We can’t make every ride convenient for all bikers but we try to make sure all bikers can join us for some of the rides each year.

Welcome all to the Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride.  The next monthly ride will be 10 September, a Monday.  The route proposed by the latest volunteer route planner is approximately 230 km.
 
Keep in mind that there may be a few minor tweaks to the route proposed below but any updates will go out in plenty of time prior to the ride.  A rough description of the route and itinerary is as follows-
 
Leave the PTT and Amazon Coffee meeting spot and head south, turn left at the first set of traffic lights and head towards Wiang Chaing Rung (Highway 1 to Highway 1232 to Highway 1173)
 
From there, head  towards Waterford Valley Golf Resort
 
Somewhere in that area, we will have the first coffee stop.  We will nail that one down in the coming days and get that info out to all prior to the ride.
 
Then to Phaya Mengrai.
 
Then to Theong.  At the traffic lights at Thoeng, hang a left and about 1.5km down the road we turn right and follow the soi down for 3 or 4 km.  There are about 6 or more prawn farms. We will go to the one with the best parking and seating for us that has reasonable food.
 
After lunch, we go to Chiang Kham via the route shown on the map.  The road to Pa Daet is all ripped up so this route gets us to the main drag to Chiang Kham.   Have coffee at the PTT Amazon at Chiang Kham.
 
 Take the Chiang Kham bypass to Chun road and turn off to Pa Daet - well sign posted.
 
 Then the route is the same one taken, but in reverse,  3 or 4 rides back when we first went to Phayao.
 
Arrive at Pa Daet.
 
Then to Chiang Rai.
 
For a look at the route on the Google map, click this link-  http://goo.gl/maps/hqGsy
 
The start and meeting point for the ride is the PTT and Amazon Coffee  Café on the Super Highway (Highway 1) near the old bus station in Chiang Rai, just south of the Kawasaki dealer.  You can find the PTT on this map- http://goo.gl/maps/jMLhX
 
Meeting time: 08:30
 
Departure time: 09:00
 
Coffee, petrol, tire inflation, snacks and restrooms are available at the PTT and Amazon.
 
In the past, there have been a few folks who have wished they could contact me before or during the ride.  Here is my phone number for those who wish to enter it into their phones- 087-726-9818.  I wear my helmet headset on the rides so you can call any time and expect me to pick up.  If you’re lost, I am not sure I can help but if nothing else, maybe I can come find you and we can be lost together.
 
Woraphat’s number is 089-429-4562 for those who may need a Thai speaker to help them out.
 
Folks, anyone can plan a ride.  If you think you have a good route for us to run in the future, let us know.  If you need help sussing it out, I and others are always happy to scout it all out with you and nail it down prior to the ride date.  And if you have a route that doesn’t need any scouting or help, let us know that and what month you would like to call it.  Woraphat and I will do our best to disseminate the info to all in English and Thai and get the best participation we can for your ride.  And by the way, just because this info is in English and Thai doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of participants from non-English speaking countries.  We have folks from all over.  The English thing means only that I can’t speak or write another language.  Feel free to translate this and pass it on.
 
The Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride is not a club event, a sponsored event or a closed event.  It is open to all who wish to attend and have a way to travel or can hitch a ride.  All sizes and styles of bikes are welcome, as are cars, trucks, vans and so on.   We always have bikes from around 100 cc’s up to at 1,800 cc’s.  Bikers of all skill levels and riding styles are welcome.  While we typically leave the start point together, we soon find ourselves riding in small groups of riders who share our riding style and speed.  Faster riders arrive at coffee and lunch stops sooner than the slower riders but we all take the time at those stops to meet and enjoy the company of old friends and new acquaintances.  This is as much a social gathering as it is a sightseeing outing and to date, it has proven to be an exceptionally friendly gathering where people make new friends, Thai and expat alike, find new riding buddies and share route info, technical tips and all other manner of relevant information.  If you do decide to join us, I believe you will find this meeting the highlight of your biking and social month.
 
While we do generally have planned stops, each rider is free to stop where and when he/she pleases.  There is no pressure to stay with the group.  Smoke breaks, rest breaks, pee breaks, photo opportunities and even the lunch stop are entirely up to you.  You can run ahead, fall behind and even check in a guest house for an overnight stay along the route if you see a place where you think you need to spend some time.  It is all about discovering the area, meeting folks and coming away with a more informed view of the land we live in and the people we come in contact with.  Bring your camera.  There are great photo opportunities.
 
No egos, no racing and no competitive personalities means this meeting finds all to be on their best and friendliest behavior.  Join us to see the best of northern Thailand each month.  You won’t find a nicer group of people discovering or re-discovering the scenic routes of Lanna country.  We ride all year round and while some find reasons to stay home to avoid environmental discomforts, some of us find that living or visiting in Thailand offers year round riding weather.  Again, welcome to join us.  Make that leap and be glad you did.  You won’t feel out of place at the Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride.  Coming from far away?  Contact us for guest house and hotel info prior to arriving.  We will try to suggest some lodging that fits your budget and lifestyle.

While we do generally have planned stops, each rider is free to stop where and when he/she pleases.  There is no pressure to stay with the group.  Smoke breaks, rest breaks, pee breaks, photo opportunities and even the lunch stop are entirely up to you.  You can run ahead, fall behind and even check in a guest house for an overnight stay along the route if you see a place where you think you need to spend some time.  It is all about discovering the area, meeting folks and coming away with a more informed view of the land we live in and the people we come in contact with.  Bring your camera.  There are great photo opportunities.
 
No egos, no racing and no competitive personalities means this meeting finds all to be on their best and friendliest behavior.  Join us to see the best of northern Thailand each month.  You won’t find a nicer group of people discovering or re-discovering the scenic routes of Lanna country.  We ride all year round and while some find reasons to stay home to avoid environmental discomforts, some of us find that living or visiting in Thailand offers year round riding weather.  Again, welcome to join us.  Make that leap and be glad you did.  You won’t feel out of place at the Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride.  Coming from far away?  Contact us for guest house and hotel info prior to arriving.  We will try to suggest some lodging that fits your budget and lifestyle.

Hello All.  I hope this note finds everyone well.

Please refer to earlier posts for starting time and meeting location for the Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride, Sept.10, Monday.
 
We have had a major route change for the Sept. 10 Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride.  The route planner for this one did some scouting and found some issues with the planned route that aren’t going to work out for the Sept. ride.  He and others have laid out a different route.  I know this will affect our Chiang Mai riders more than if will affect the locals here in CR.  I apologize for the change but in this case, it is necessary.
 
Basic description of the new route is:  Leave CR and head for Chiang Khong, enjoy a coffee stop there on the river front, then follow the river north to Chiang Saen for the lunch stop.   Our Chiang Khong coffee stop will be announced on the morning of the ride with input from the CK riders.  There are several nice riverside overlooks that have decent coffee service.  For this route, which is seen on the map at the link provided below, there will be a shorter option and a longer option.  Several of us will be doing the longer option, which takes us north from Chiang  Saen along the border all the way to Mae Sai, while the shorter route will take riders from Chiang Saen directly back to CR via Mae Chan.  The river route is highly recommended and has some very good riding surfaces, along with a bit that is less than perfect.
 
Lunch stop.  There are many restaurants in Chiang Saen.  However, the wife and I will be going 3 or 4 km north of Chain Saen to have lunch at The Thai Kitchen, which sits on the river’s edge, has plenty of seating, open air and indoors, and greats views across the river.  I believe that lunch for the two of us will run 400 or 500 baht based on their menu prices.  If folks wish to eat at a less expensive place, there will be some good recommendations for shops in Chiang Saen on the morning of the ride.  The Thai Kitchen location is not on the main route map but can be found at the green arrow marker here-  http://goo.gl/maps/Cbg9L
Grid coordinates for that restaurant are 20.31036 and  100.09256
 
New route details that we are going with for the shorter route is listed below.  The shorter route is estimated to be 221 km.  For the longer route, we will stay on 1290, the Mynamar/Thailand border highway all the way to Mae Sai and then return to CR via Highway 1-

Chiang Rai Bikers Day Ride, Sept.10, 2012 -- ALL WELCOME !! http://www.rideasia.net/motorcycle-forum/events-upcoming-rides/2350-chiang-rai-bikers-day-ride-sept-10-monday.html  — with Mim Picha Saweepat and 4 others.

Hello all.
Looks like the weather forecast for tomorrow the 10th is getting better.  We are a go for that date  and I’m looking forward to the ride.  Some new coffee stop and lunch info is presented later in this e-mail.  Please read on.

Meeting and start times and location are here:

The start and meeting point for the ride is the PTT and Amazon Coffee Café on the Super Highway (Highway 1) near the old bus station in Chiang Rai, just south of the Kawasaki dealer. You can find the PTT on this map- http://goo.gl/maps/jMLhX
Meeting time: 08:30
Departure time: 09:00
Coffee, petrol, tire inflation, snacks and restrooms are available at the PTT and Amazon.


I know some of you have mentioned several coffee stop places in Chiang Khong and will head to your favorite spot.  In addition to those spots, David and Mai of Chiang Khong have provided the following info for a coffee stop in CK.  David writes:
 
Hi Folks,
Looking forward to seeing you here in Chiang Khong.
For a Great Coffee (other drinks also) and one of the finest views to be found anywhwere along the Mekong; located just 6 kilometers north of Chiang Khong you will find a bamboo coffee hut directly alongside the upland side of the road, called Naka's Kiosken. And it has lots of parking too.
Sorry I've no pictures of Naka's Bamboo Coffee Shop, but here are a couple of pictures of the river and also a picture of the owner with my wife.
Mai and I are looking forward to seeing you there and then continuing the ride north.
Cheers,
David and Mai
Chiang Khong
 
As for lunch, several will be attending the Thai Kitchen as mentioned in the earlier post  and a new offer has come in from Ian at Chiang Saen.  I have attached the map to the place that Ian writes about.  Ian writes:
 
Hi Everyone,
I would like to extend an invitation to lunch at Viang Yonok Hotel, for all on the Chiang Rai Biker's day ride, 10th September.
This is a lovely quiet spot, just 4 klms from Chiang Saen and next to beautiful Chiang Saen lake.
We can offer a moderate choice for lunch for about 200 Baht each (main dish, soup, fruit). Being a member of the Chiang Rai biking community it would be a pleasure to have you here. There is plenty of parking space and we can seat about 30 people in our restaurant.
Here is some more info on our hotel; http://www.viangyonok.com
We are located at;
Latitude: 20 deg 15.7' N
Longitude: 100 deg 03.0' E
and here is a map showing how to get here from Chiang Saen.

See you all on 10th September.
Here is a link to the Chiang Rai Harley Davidson group who were here a couple of months ago.
