Mae On à vélo

This is a Hike and Bike route for experienced and adventurous riders. It is also a great walking route if you don't mind the section of road on the Route 1317. It starts with a fairly flat off road section before progressing onto village roads then onto the Route 1317 up a long steep hill. Leaving the 1317 onto a quieter village road, you take a right turn to join a track which leads to a steep right turn into the jungle on a trail which takes you up and over the mountain. It is very steep in places but possible to get your bike up if you are determined. I had excellent phone signal coverage throughout the mountain section which makes navigation easy but if you lose your signal or battery life, you can still compete it if you carefully follow the trail which is a little tricky in places. This is a moderately challenging route.

A mostly flat back road route with a couple of short off roads sections suitable for any bike with sturdy tyres. It takes about two hours at an easy pace with a few water breaks. The route includes two scenic reservoirs and ends near the Baanpong restaurant/hotel where they serve thai and western food at above average prices.
