Have you got any ( or can you get some ) nice pics of old boats on the rivers somewhere ? or any misty village pics with mountains in the back ground ?

I know its a long shot but I love to paint these scenes

Enjoy your beer mate !

I should have some pics like that mate...and your right about skinny runt,i was down to about 58 kgs at one point, eating became a chore at times what with the heat and churning out the miles,just necking down redbulls and m150's and shit like that!

sounds great would also like to see some pic havn't been through china yet,just skirted around the border at boten. i loved north laos,very tough climbing but as you say gotta go up to come down...

Great trip and thanks for sharing. We old guys envy you.

Thanks Barry, i am jealous!
How did you deal with packs of aggressive dogs? They really put me off cycling in Thailand.

Barry

Thanks for the great photos.

Lots of questions!!!! Did you carry your supplies (water, food, etc) or did you pick stuff on the way? Where did you stay? Did you plan your route or just follow your nose? Any worries about travelling on narrow roads with other traffice (trucks, etc). Any sickness? Great thread.

Let me guess ? You felt fantastic but your friends where worried about your Appearance. ?

I back packed through India and trekked in Nepal for 9 months. Left home around 74 Kg and came home around 62 KG.

I felt brilliant but when I put the weight back on I felt like shit. Friends where happy though.

Regards you cranking out 9 K on your push bike you are one hard core dude.

Respect to you mate.

Barry what camera are you using mate ? is it a Panny ? superb looking pics , the digital age has certainly brought with it the opportunity for great threads like this one

nig mate believe it or not most of the pics were taken with a 5x zoom point and shoot.lost my first camera and bought another point and shoot jobby on the way i would just hang around until i thought the pic would come out o.k

damn right mate,might have been a skinny looking fooker but had never been so fit.some days i was pushing up to 200kms,especially in cambodia were it was pretty flat.my record there was about 260 kms from shukanaville to phnom phen in one day with a tail wind,but that was a one off for visa reasons....

Top thread, thanks for sharing.

Green incoming.

this was with a better 18 xzoom

only have the memories, never carried a camera.
northern laos, north of pongsali,
yes great up there
had 2 checkpoints into china which were only for laos and chinese folk
dodged one laos checkpoint and rode into china but only got about 10 kms.
when i was greeted by about 6 china guards running up the road toward me
tried to give em some bs about my damaged knee and needed a doctor but they wouldn't have it and got escorted back to the laos checkpoint
only one way in and that was to go down to Boten.
