How do you feel about this?

[alexpoker]

Am here in Phnom Penh for a few days. Wanted to go check out angkor wat. Plan is to rent an offroad bike and head out there.

Ride is 4 hours by highway, but obviously I would much rather take a scenic offroad ride. Stay the night and then head back.

Any suggestions about routes I can take and how long it would take?

Thanks

Try not to get raped by a gorilla while in the jungle. It's going to be a full moon and i hear they're extra frisky during this time of the month. Don't wear anything with fur.

Tip - inspect the bike well before hiring.

I hired an off-road bike in Pnom Penh, went for a ride miles out into the countryside, and the chain snapped. I was stranded for a considerable amount of time, with bruising on my back and neck (still have the T shirt to prove the chain strike ), without being able to speak a word of the local lingo.

Ended up having to push the bike nearly two kilometers to a dodgy side road service hut.

Chain looks fine. They gave me a couple of extra tubes and a clutch cable. Taking off now, will prolly have to stay the night somewhere between PP and Siem Reap. Should be interesting
