Luang Prabang Day Ride : Nam Khan Missing Link – Part 2

Luang Prabang Day Ride : Nam Khan Missing Link – Part 1
Trying from the south to see if I can get through to the north following the Nam Khan and over the mountains. All I can say is.. What a rough steep rocky road. At this point. I almost turned back. It just was not fun. Then looked at the GPS. OK. I am here, not...
Chiang Khong – Rumble In the Jungle

Luang Prabang Day Ride to the Khmu Villages

Luang Prabang to Muang Nan – Route 1 – Riding the Mekong
Dec 2019 The last time to ride this track as Dec 2016. Not really in a hurry to come back as expected the trail to be gone with all the road works. Well. Surprise. All the road works came to nothing.. Bridges not finished, concrete pipes abandoned.. Almost as if. All the money disappeared and...

Hin Heup – Mueng Fueng – Mekong River Road to Vientiane
The 13N out of Vientiane is a mess to say the least. As well as a very dangerous road. Decided to take another way. Leaving Vang Vieng south on the 13N for about 20 KM turn right and it takes you to the back side of Hin Heup with out touching the 13N. But there...

Ta Xua is not really on the map as a destination for foreign tourists. Though a well known hidden gem by the more adventurous Vietnamese. This is changing with more adventurous riders in the region making the effort to get to Ta Xua Dinosaur Backbone. Though, when you get here.. Gulp.. Not much room for...
