Finally decided to get back on the bike and try to see if riding in the hot and flat is better than in the moderate and mountainous. I flew. My bike computer crapped out this morning, so I didnt have speed or distance on the road. But I was able to use kilometer markers and my wrist watch to find that I was making just under 20 kph.
Distance today: 81km
Total time: 5.5 hours
Average speed: maybe 19.5 kph
Total Distance so far: about 785 km
I am going to spend two nights here while I look into the Mekong Discovery trail, if the daily rides are kept short, then I think it will be a fun couple of days. It has to be better than what I went through today. Northern Cambodia, off the river, is a boring place. Flat, hot, mostly scrub bush and low trees. Stung Treng is the first real town and the first place with more than a couple shacks on the side of the road. Hopefully I will be able to take the trail and get some scenery and maybe a local village to stay in for a night or two.
