Doi Suthep - my first mountain

---

Cycling in Chiang Mai

The guys decided to go up the mountain to the famous monastery/temple up there and so I followed them – stupid as I am. It was a tough ride, about 800 height meters on 12 km. While cycling upwards I saw many pickups bringing up people with bicycles just to let them ride down. That is not my style I thought and so I fighted my way up, curve by curve, meter by meter until with a final effort at the steepest last 200 meter I arrived at the temple – where I did not take the some-hundred stairs up but the lift J



I documented the ride down with the GoPro and sped it up to reduce the 18 minutes downwards to 5. Have fun watching it!

After that I returned to the hotel in Chiang Mai and worked.
