Our 4 wheel drive transportation takes us to the top of Doi Pui mountain ( 5300 feet) above the Palace and Doi Sutep Temple. After viewing Doi Pui Village below and some stretching we prepare our Cycles and get ready to ride down to our favorite coffee plantation . This first part of the trip helps us to evaluate your riding ability and we talk about techniques to make your downhill cycling even more enjoyable. Everyone is encouraged to practice the newly learned techniques. Further downhill we turn west at the forest intersection where we continue gradually downhill, enjoying higher speeds and control. After passing a high country Royal Planting Project, we enter the great divide, a barely used and unmaintained path. We practice our art of Mountain Biking, moving in and out of ruts, over rocks and roots, and quickly arrive in the deep jungle gully between the two mountains. Now at 3200 feet elevation, we notice the tropical forest emerging from the pine woods, with huge banana leaves and plenty of bamboo filtering the light.
Once at the bottom of the gully we begin a long and rewarding uphill back to 4100 feet, some ride, some walk, concentrating and preserving energy on the way to our summit.
A 200 year old bamboo grove greets us at the top, where a lengthy and well deserved break is taken.

Continuing along the high road with fantastic views of the valley below we ride a gradual , long downhill. Warmed up we play in and out of ruts and holes, sand traps and rocks. The challenging terrain forces us to maintain full concentration on riding and moves us into ” the zone “ of the sport. The hill tribe village at the end of the forest trail brings us back to civilization.

Once in the Mesa Valley we enjoy a beautiful winding paved road downhill all the way to our favorite eating spot near Wat Ampawan.

Technically challenging at higher speeds and easy at slower speeds , but definitely an achievement.

With only short steep up hills we wind our way across the valley, past small farm houses while witnessing the local hill tribes in there natural environment. Then we ride further down hill between plantations and forest with beautiful pine trees changing to eucalyptus growth on the way down to the Mae Rim Valley floor. The rarely used forest road presents the rider with plenty of challenges. This trip ends at beautiful Wat Ampawan, where our driver is waiting for us. A late lunch at a secluded Orchid Farm with a small lake, gives us a chance to reflect on significant events during this eventful day.

This forest /farm road is hardly traveled and is perfect for mountain biking, allowing speed, but challenging your riding abilities . This is very secluded riding and you will feel deep appreciation for the local ecology
