After a brilliant track day on Saturday it was tough to wake up at 4am to meet the Superbikethailand club for their ride to Chaiyaphum, but I'm glad I did as it was a fantastic day!

Diverse mix of bikes from Ninjette 250s all the way up to a Hayabusa with a lot of Kawa 650's in the middle, a nice Gixxer K9, couple of REAL CBR 1000s, BMW F800GS, etc

Gas stop somewhere near Lopburi-

We then proceeded to Pa Hin Ngam National Park-

More bikes kept joining us and the group kept growing in size-

Pa Hin Ngam is famous for it's views-

And for fields of mountain flowers and odd rock formations-

Nice and cool up here looking out over vast forests and a sea of clouds-

The park is huge but fortunately you can hire some transportation-

We had lunch at Pa Hin Ngam and then rode down the mountain to meet up with some more guys-

Here we are at the entrance to Sai Thong National Park-

The road in was a bit challenging and I was feeling fortunate that I was on the Versys-

Everyone made it in one piece!

Because of the difficult access road this park was rather deserted and we pretty much had the place all to ourselves-

Nice little restaurant with a big cooler full of cold drinks so we grabbed some water and set off on a 3 km hike to the Pha Hum Hod viewpoint-

Wow- what a spot!

The hike took us through fields of the same flowers we saw in Pa Hin Ngam National Park-

We didn't leave the park until close to 5PM and I got home exhausted but exhilarated around 9PM! Talk about a FULL DAY ride!

Thanks for a fantastic trip Superbikethailand!

it was tough to wake up at 4am

Usually why I don't get motivated to even attempt joining in.laugh.gif

Heh heh, I hear ya, I am NOT a morning person, but these rides are such a blast that I do my best to join whenever I can.

Next big trip is camping on the beach in Prachuap Kiri Khan the weekend of the 23rd-

What's the average cruising speed and how far between fill ups?

These rides are usually pretty well organized with fuel stops pre-planned to accommodate whoever has the shortest range.

Some guys blast off at the front and some guys cruise along at the back.

There is always a support vehicle or two and a sweeper at the back to make sure no one gets left behind.

Ok I start looking for fuel after about 180kms. But the 4 AM is still a bigger concern.laugh.gif
