The goal is to cycle up to the top of Doi Inthanon with my wife and myself.


The goal... has been set for a long time... since 2011.

I tried it once before... but it didn't work out.. because it was the 2nd day of cycling... so I missed the opportunity to have it continuously.

4 years have passed... today I have the opportunity... so I have to seize the opportunity



The goal is to reach the top... Time is not limited to how many hours... because I know my own strength... I have to save myself first... to prevent cramps... when cramps come, everything is over.



Aiming to



Km. 0-12 (Checkpoint 1 - Forest Fire Control Center) ... must go slowly...

Today's opportunity...





The eldest son is studying at Maejo University. He is almost finished, so he asked his father to pick up his belongings (motorcycle and bicycle).

So I took my bike with me in the car....and visited my parents....(My hometown is near Checkpoint 1, Mae Khlang Waterfall, only 23 km away)....Normally, they don't allow it because it's dangerous..there are a lot of cars, something like that..I never had the chance before

Today...just to say...that's all.

Park your car at checkpoint 1 ...



Start at 7.08 am ... The first hill was at km 1.



Let's stop by the viewpoint to take some photos first....because how are we going to get down???


I can drive myself... I can also take pictures... If I take the car down... I won't have a chance to stop by.



I made it to the top of Doi Inthanon... without pushing my bike... but I stopped to catch my breath countless times.
