rack, and aft 8” of tail fell off,
tethered by a bungee.

Years of box vibration had caused bilateral weld failure 
where the rails attached the rear stamping
holding for lights, seat latch, hand-hold mount & rear fairing.

the first little bike shop on  the left
welded stuff  back together for 50baht.

Today I went looking for some new tracks, but my first stop was at Wat Phra That Si Wiang Mun.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Rp5T9RuTKw9R3uEr8

I then carried on riding west before south at Ban Mai Charoen and on to Ban A Mae.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/VggeYoDyQiJFY5xU9

From here it was sandy and rocky tracks with stream crossings until I was told by a local farmer that I could not continue as it was very difficult and steep, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/XxNfsd5NZXqFYF8F8

He was a nice guy and after chatting shook my hand and said “God bless you.” Obviously a Christian Hill Tribe family.

Yes, but go clockwise to the Akha village R1134 and keep going clockwise is hardly used, i so only farmers, off road up to the checkpoint then a wonderful ride along the ridge. Google maps say no way through, but easy riding.

Today I went to ride a route I heard about a while ago, a back road that connects with R1095 that goes to Pai.

Is this the road that ties in from the south at Ban Pa Lan to Ban Pang Makluai  to the north?

Today I went to find some new reservoirs south of Chiang Mai. I followed the Ping River south as on previous rides, stopping for a quick snap of the Steel Irrigation Bridge, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/mnBF8e4dK4hhJJz47

I then carried on riding south taking photos from small bridges until I arrived at Mae Sang Reservoir, here. Nothing special to see really because there was no forest surrounding it.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/PxosVkjgg3Davfj37

The next reservoir nearby was similar. Mae Ao Noi Reservoir, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/gHnLG8htrnWnnHgdA

Starting my ride back I briefly stopped at Wat Mongkol Weluwan, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/XL8D7dH8wNPefz5TA

Soon after on a very straight road I spotted a Temple on a hill and rode up to take a look, this is worth a stop for the views. Phra Borommathat Chedi 4 Kruba, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/HzV4PtSQQa7CU9SP6

From here I rode river side roads back to the city when possible.
