Steve had never ridden off road before so our challenge was to show him the ropes then introduce him to the joy of off road biking. A competent road rider Steve took to dirt trails like a duck to water and in no time we had him fording rivers and riding single track trails in no time. Now you are a competant dirt rider we look forward to seeing him again though maybe a little more extreme next time Steve? UPDATE: Steve has taken our challenge and returning for his second tour with us on 6th November 2010. If you would like to join Steve please see here |
November 7th 2009 Steve arrived in Chiang Mai to begin a 6 day motorbike tour of the Golden Triangle however, after a beer or two the night before the tour Steve somehow managed to talk himself into changing the tour from a road tour to an off road tour!
We went on an off road tour with Motorbike Thailand from
the 19th to the 26th of July. As Andy said; "each day
would be more challenging than the last" and he was certainly true to
his word. Every single day was more challenging
culminating in us having lunch with representatives of the Sham army
1500m up a mountain. I have to say the trip was exceptional and i will definitely be back
next year. The bikes and accommodation were both great along with the camaraderie between all the guys. One of the expectational aspects of the
week was that Andy really made an effort to teach, particularly Michel
and I how to ride a bike properly both on and off the road. I will
always take inspiration from his "get you r f**ing feet on the pegs when I am next sliding down a hill of mud on a bike. Cheers guys for a great week! Mark (Hong Kong near the outskirts of Scotland)
