17/1: Pushin hard on Route 66

Ta Seng to Phnom Deik, a mere 35km but it took us a really hard 4h to make it! Sandy, single track through the Boeng Peae Wildlife sanctuary. If you plan on biking this rd, consider deeply if you are looking for very offroad biking or not. If so, its great, if not, find another way. In any case, it certainly isn't good enough to make it on the map with an actual rd number...Anyway, we pushed, pedalled, pushed some more...crossed a stream, pedalled, a lot more pushing...Line screamed all the frustration out of her when her pedals slammed into rocks yet another time...Ardan enjoyed finally some good 'oll off the beaten track riding...finally Phnom Deik! Food, a beer & some rest.

Natalie & Gonzage continued on, we found a guesthouse and stay here for the night since we don't have a tent & cooking gear to stop whenever, wherever we want. However this small taste of offroad cambodia has lit a new fire in Ardan's mind...enduro riding through north cambodia must be a trip in the future...these tracks are really superb for motorcycle offroad riding. When? We'll see.

We truly enjoyed sharing this offroad adventure with another biking couple, I guess it made the task a bit easier, knowing you are not the only one swearing & working hard at that time :-)

  1. Dat Ardan een lefgozer is dat wisten we al maar ons Line moet blijkbaar niet onder doen. Is dat jou goeie invloed Ardan? Chapeau voor beiden
