Today, 22 January and day 7 of the ride, we set off to ride to 'Avatar Country' - the national park around Khao Sok. This 127k ride was one of the most testing of the whole ride with a number of hills and a long stretch on a busy road. We had to be alert as we were passed by fast trucks, utes and cars, a number laden high. On one of the scooters that passed, a mother with one child on the back also held a baby up to wave at us.
Two Melbourne real estate partners shared the captain's white jersey, Willow and Steve. Also photographed are Daniel, Cass and Jeurgen. Tomorrow we ride to the orphanage.
