Road tours

The roads of the old Lanna kingdom are some of the finest in Asia when it comes to road biking. In fact, not only is there a thriving race and riding scene in the area, many international teams chose to train on the very same roads that we use for our new road bike tours around the Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces, Here's a few taster shots taken with the near resident Mietan Hompo team from Japan, as they train pre season in Chiang Rai.

Trails of Gold

Well, we've been busy lately working on our new tout schedules, which means lots of riding around the amazing roads and trails of northern Thaland, eating great food, getting a decent sun tan and drinking ice cold beer - it's a terrible job, but someone has to do it.
So, while we're awaiting a full web site construction and next year's tour dates her's a few pics from a moutain bike recce of the the Golden Triangle area. These images and an accompanying story will appear in Mounain Bicycling Australia next month, check it out!

Tour of Thailand

2008-09-14T04:20:00.000-07:00

This years international Tour of Thailand bike race was something of a secret, well at least it seemed that way. The race took 6 days and covered the ground between Chiang Rai and Lampang, with Giant Asia's Scottish flyer Alex Courts taking the overall honours. We managed to hide behind the bushes and steal a few shots as the race headed through Chiang Khong, possibly the only pictures in publication...
Next year's race is in April, and will be in the outh - where the roads are flat, and it's Songkran, great timing once more.
