Burma to Beach Bike Ride

Post by BUSHWHACKER »

Burma to the Beach Bike Ride.

On Wednesday the 23rd of December, a group of cyclists will meet at the Singkhon Border checkpoint. From this spot on the Burma Border we will depart at 11:AM on the 9th annual Odyssey of Endurance as we will cycle completely across Thailand, never stopping for meals or rest. We will also accomplish this amazing feat without the use of performance enhancing drugs. This challenge is usually met by the average bicycle rider in about one hour as the total distance across Thailand at this point on the map is only about 11km as the crow flies. Since we’ll always be on tarmac, the total distance will be about 21km. We will finish the Odyssey of Endurance at the Royal Air Force recreation beach at Ao Manao where there is always a great variety of Thai entrees amongst the many vendors in the food court where one can also find ice cold beer and other unimportant beverages. Any questions? Just ask..

I had been considering that, but the decision has been made for me - I'm already away that day.

If I had been available, there is quite a hill out of Dan Singkorn - too big for this old man. The rest of the route seems very manageable. Does the ride start before or after that hill? Your answer will help me decide for a future event.

The ride starts at the border do is in fact on top of the hill. Think of it as a roller coaster with a couple ups and downs but almost all the way down. We've had 80 year old guys make this trip and plenty of heavier girls.
Anyone in reasonably good health should be able to do this. It's just a fun run with a few beer at the end at Beautiful Ao Manao.
