November 30th. Time to head off to Laos again for the end of year trip. What better way to start a trip than easing myself in to the dirt with David and his son Nak. Arrive the night before. Ready to roll the next morning on some pretty good trails. Had a taste of the trails with David last…
A lovely day loop out of Luang Prabang visiting the Khmu village After turning left at the concrete factory. It is a steep rocky and rutted climb up the mountain to the nice trails. Stop this first village. Super friendly locals. Then see this school as riding past. Almost carried on as didn’t want to disturb them. Then thought…..
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 they stopped working 😉…

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 error if you get…

My playground. Only one hour from central Bangkok taking motorway 7. Park up. Have some breakfast at the shops and a drink.
