Diamondback Ascent - Sorry Unconvenience


Did a spot of cycletouring in Thailand and Laos last year. Nothing to write home about, to be honest - I don't really like hot temperatures much. After I crossed into Laos at Huay Xai I ran into the stonkingiest roadworks I've ever seen. Hills were too steep to ride up and too steep to ride down with my (overloaded) bike.
So I gave up and buggered off to Honkers (Hong Kong) instead which was much more to my liking. (Oh yeah, and Bangers - Luang Prabang - is totally overrated).
I left the bike in Bankers (Bangkok), though the riding around Lamma Island looks pretty good compared with most global megatropoli.
