Hello all. Before I go too much into the next ride info, a special thanks to Mr. Chang, who bought lunch for some of those who ate at the Doi Chang restaurant on the May ride. Thank you, Mr. Chang, from those of us who enjoyed your style of hospitality.
As always, if any of you have received this e-mail and do not wish to be on this list, please let me know and I'll remove your name from the mailing list.
To all others, please share this information and if you know of others who wish to receive this e-mail monthly, contact me with their info.
The June day ride has been called by Ian for Sunday, 3 June. He has put together a nice route, scoped out the lunch place already and has provided a map and a couple of pics. I will attach the map and pics, as I cannot insert photos inline in this browser e-mail.
I am not certain yet but I believe we will have at least one truck with drinks and such aboard and if anyone else wishes to come along in a four wheel vehicle, you are most welcome. Also, if you have a lady who wishes to go along but doesn't want to spend the day on the back of a bike, let us know and we'll see if we can find a seat on a truck or car that may be going with us. The wives and girlfriends do have as much fun as everyone else and enjoys the social time, making new friends and meeting new people.
As always, all sizes and styles of bikes are welcome. Most of us won't be in any hurry and breaks/stops for smokes, pictures, chats, sightseeing and rain avoidance are up to the individual riders. When the group leaves the start point, you'll quickly find yourselves riding in smaller groups of riders who share your style and speed of riding. Getting lost, taking wrong turns, short cuts and scenic by-ways is highly acceptable, as sooner or later, we all end up at the same place and there is no hurry to be any where at any time. Bikes from 100 cc to 1800 cc are typical on our rides All are welcome. Faster bikes/riders will no doubt add a few kilometers to the route and still make the lunch stop in time for some idle chat. As much as this is a nice ride and nice day out, this is an opportunity to meet some new people, make some new friends and share info about favorite rides, routes and places to visit.
Here is a link to the Google map showing the meet and start point for the ride-

Below is Ian's post concerning the ride:
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Chiang Rai Bikers monthly day ride. Invitation to all. Bring your friends, the more the merrier. This next ride planned as follows;
The Ride; Run the 1155 north.
Date; Sunday 3rd June 12
Meeting point; Amazon Coffee Shop, PTT station, highway 1 in Chiang Rai.
Meeting time; 08:30
Ride departs; 09:00
Distance; Approx 230 klms.
Route; Anti-clockwise loop.
As we did a loop to the west of CR last month and a run to the south, the month before, let's try a loop to the east this month. The 1155 is a great road. Heading north, the mountains of Pu Chee Fah are on your right and there is a parallel line of mountains to your left. Beautiful scenery as the road follows round and over hills between the mountains, through hill tribe villages.

Head out of CR on 1152 to Phaya Mengrai. After passing the Nong Luang lake/reservoir (sorry, I dont know which) and the turn to Chaiyapruek, turn right on the small road across to Huai Kang and join 1174 south. Turn left again across the small roads through to Thoeng. Turn left on 1020, head east past Pee, turning left onto the great 1155 north. Head all the way north, about 67 klms, dont turn off to Pu Chee Fah anywhere (save that for another day...). This road has a few small villages for drinks stops. Being a small twisty road, it's best enjoyed at a moderate pace. When you get to Wiang Kaen, turn right on the small road into Wiang Kaen itself and follow that road about 14 klms, through Huai Lak to Gaeng Pa Dai at the very end of the Kong river on the Thai side. The Pa Dai restaurant is at the end of this road, where we can all meet up again for a late lunch.
After Wiang Kaen, on the small road past Huai Lak, you should go through this gateway. Pic 2 See attachment
Then turn right here and follow the road through to the end past a little resort to where the restaurant is, nearly at the end of the road. Pic 3 See attachment
After lunch, back along the small road to Wiang Kaen then right on the 1155, along the Mekong a little, a couple more viewpoint stops on this great tarmac twisty bit, then the road swings around to the south again. At Tha Charoen, turn right to Si Donchai, then left on a small road across to Bahn Wai and left on 1174. Follow that road down to Phaya Mengrai and right on 1152 back to Chiang Rai.
See you all on Sunday 3rd June. Looking forward to it.
Best wishes
Ian
