Great mornings ride (only 70km) starting at the Singha farm and heading over towards and along the Kok river, this was our intended route.
A slight detour had us on this trail, but with the amount of bamboo leaves around probably a wise move, the Bamboo trail can be pretty technical.
Anyway's started with a nice easy ride around the Singha farm to the tourist village after which it was a climb up the concrete road to the easily missed trail head.
Turn off for the bamboo trail next to the christian cemetery
Charming friendly lady
Graded section kept clear for the tourist 4WD tours.
Start of the trail is pretty rocky, would be fun in the rainy season.
Bamboo leaves everywhere makes it difficult to see ruts.
Nice shaded section was welcome
Huge amount of water comes down these trails in the rainy season making them out of limits
Nice stopping point and chance to cool off, would make a great camping spot with fresh water on tap.
Views being spoilt by the oncoming smoke
We finally reached the sealed road that leads to the Akha Hill GH, Ronny had an idea to ride through it, i had no idea there was a track past this point (not on the NT map)
Even the mighty KTM got caught on this sharp uphill turn.
Lovely section of trail, with some interesting sections.
This track is seldom used, hard to find stuff like this around Chiang Rai.
Single track leading to the south side of the Kok river and the end of the days ride.
