Full-Day Advanced XC Downhill Biking at Doi Suthep National Park Chiang Mai

930 Am Hotel Pickup , drop off at the shop for sign up and  bike and gear fitting

A 60 minute drive brings us up to our starting point, Doi Pui National park Summit

Here we spend time getting everybody ready , check the bikes, fit all the safety equipment, do a briefing with "role by" final skill check. Now we are ready to ride the mountain from 1550 m to the valley floor 370m.

A rewarding  30 minutes ride on easy jeep track and we arrive now by mountain bike at our favorite Coffee plantation Huts where we have facilities, access to coffee of course and assorted snacks are available for purchase. A great place to regroup.  Great views of the upper valley, pleasant temperature and good company keeps us here for a short while.

After a good break we now head by mountain bike  through the  summit Hmong Village stopping for another amazing view point facing the city (east). Here we turn west heading along the east side of the mountain.

The double track off road jeep tracks leads us now down the mountain, past plantations, highland forest and unforgetable view points to lake Huay Tueng Tao at the valley floor . This advanced descent features several lenghty uphills and XC runs before criss crossing downhill into the valley. 

We arrive at the lake around 3:30 pm,  everyone is hungry for the delicious Thai food offered right at the lakes shore huts , some fancy a swim, everyone is relaxed and chilling  by the water.

4 pm Hotel Drop Off

No one is in a hurry to leave this nice place at the lake. When ready we jump on the truck and a 20 minute drive puts us back into the city . we now drop everyone off at their hotels. A great day with a great ending .
