bike rides

[kptravel]

hi,

I will be staying in the centre of hua hin over the new year. I will be bringing my mountain bike with me. Can anybody recommend a

decent route for a 30-40/50 km round trip bike ride? It doesn't have to be moutains or hilly terain,flat is fine,as I'm training for a flat surface triathlon race.

thanks for any help.

Hi,

You can head up to the Banyan Golf course ( find on Google map) from the town centre and then cycle past the course entrance road which will lead you onto a nice non tarmac road and follow this till the end where you'll see a 7 Eleven on the corner of a main road. Turn round and head back. Best done either early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat.

Round trip around 30-40 km

Regards

Robert

hard to start in HH and avoid traffic.

copy and paste LAT LONG numbers (12.500652, 99.903481) into google maps.

you sound experienced with biking. please get a high visibly yellow shirt at AIIZ store in Market Village, two for 490 baht. invest in flashing LED lights for your bike. anything to make you more visible. even during daylight.

sun up is your best time. rush hour in morning 7-9 am and 4:30-7:00pm. dark at 6:15pm.

assume nothing on the roads. you have no right of way.

alternate:

go to here. make a left turn. keep going until you are good and then reverse course.

I have a friend living in that D-condo nearby road 112 and will be visiting there in February and it had been great to know how long a ride I can get on an out/back ride starting nearby that condo.

Thank you, trisod.
