Had a good sleep last night even though my bed mattress is paper thin with a massive roll together, I hear you all saying lucky it’s just you then, well it is. In this case. Lets work case by case. Ha breakfast at the Scandinavian bakery, which was lovely, now I realize were all my money is going, started chatting to a guy who rolled up on his road bike. We chatted about the roads etc and I got a good bit of info out of him.
He also showed me where the local bike shop was, which was closed, but looking through the window I did notice he had specialized bikes and giants, older models but if I need spares I can at least find some. He dropped me off at a monument and headed off, I spent the rest of the day cycling around looking at mooks, wats and more. There are so many wats and they all look the same, wat here wat there wat everywhere.
My next few days might be a ride up and then back down the same road, I had an idea of coming back a different way but my plans maybe washed out by the monsoon. The course I was going to take runs some small back roads, which I have been told are not that good in the wet and can sometimes be closed. The monsoon has also just started to hit the north. O yes it would have been 144 km on the back roads. Will have to see.
So it will be up early tomorrow with a 70km ride along the flat, I don’t really hit the hills till after Vang Vieng then I climb up to about 1400m, Up the hill, down the hill then back up the same hill and down. At least I will know what I am in for.
