Mae Hong Son Loop: Looking back

Back in Phuket and reflecting on our labours over the last 10 days.  It was fun, enlightening and as we expected, a serious workout.  Now we have checked some of the stats to find that in places, this was as tough as it could get, with certain slopes in excess of 30%!  We logged onto Strava and found that Irene's time on the long haul out of Hot earned her Queen of the Mountains.

Overall, we found everybody friendly, enthusiastic, and the drivers very courteous, even though the roads were a little hectic at times.  We love Chiang Mai and will definitely go back, but once around the circuit is enough unless we have carbon bikes with full support.

Thanks for reading.
