Enoon Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) My GF was in this event around our locality three and a half years ago. Does it qualify as "gravel grinding"?: Some riders really go for it, most are along for the ride. If so Hua Hin is well behind, and probably very far from being "one of the first events of its kind to be held in Thailand", on account of the local clubs having been doing it around the province sometime before this one took place. Our event was in contemptible, backward Isaan by the way. Edited March 1, 2023 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand that has a very different connotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
