Chiang Mai - Mountain Biking

This may have begun as a misguided and ill advised activity, but it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure! bruises, scratches, and a few tears included.

I didn't know it at the time, but we signed up for the intermediate trek. I have never gone mountain biking before but it is much more intense than I was anticipating. Just like how 'less spicy' Thai food is still spicy to me, 'easy trek' Thai mountain biking is not what it seems! Simon of course proved to be a natural at it. After losing count of the number of times I flipped over my bike (so happy for the pads!) I really started to get the hang of it and begin to enjoy the trip. Mountain Biking is such a rush!
