Day 2: Khai Yai to Surin (95km). Breakfast at the hotel. We start
cycling a bit down hill to enjoy the fresh air. We stop for water after cycling
and enjoying for a while and slow down to see this one of the most beautiful
National Park. It is the biggest and longest hills which is just a couple hours
from Bangkok and situated between Saraburi until Cambodia border. Lunch stop
will be around 50km. After lunch we cycle for another 45km on more flat road.
Dinner and overnight in Surin. (B,L,D)
Cycle Tour Day 2 - 87km, average 22.7km/h
After the long climb to the top yesterday we enjoyed a nice downhill run to start the day. It was good to see the bright sunshine; not too hot but the humidity was through the roof after the rain. It wasn't long before we entered the National Park with its wild Elephants (saw plenty of poo only) monkeys, deer, squirrel, beautiful butterflies and a few birds, some familiar and some not.
The downhill start didn't last long and we were soon pushing up 10 to 15 percenters for 32km!!! Thank goodness for granny gears.
Lunch was taken at a cafeteria at the top and then the good bit; downhill for 14km. But we were robbed; we went up for 32 and down for only 13km. However our hotel for the night was 280km away so it was on the bus for about 4 hours to complete the days outing.
That resulted in a late dinner after 9pm and even later into bed. Slept nicely though.
