Samoeng Loop

Classic Ride around the mountains of Chiang Mai:

From Chiang Mai take Canal Road South to Samoeng Intersection. Then enter the valley in Eastern direction eventually starting to climb. After km 35 and reaching an altitude of approx 800 m, several steep switchbacks will take you down to about 550 m above sea level. The next climb is 5 kms and 400 m climb.

After the next downhill of about 2 km, take a right turn direction Mae Rim and do the third and final climb.

You will be rewarded with a nice and extended downhill.

At km 69 turn right, and at km 71 - after crossing a bridge - again right. Then follow the road along the river until you reach highway 107. U-turn there and follow direction Chiang Mai then at km 78 turn right at the traffic lights to follow Canal Road back to Chiang Mai.
