• Pranburi 'Pro' Ride - Cost 1,800 Thb/person

We have just added this ride to our portfolio (December 2007) to offer the experienced riders a 'real' challenge. This ride is tough!!  Some of the route was recently the course for a professional bike race and it is 90% rugged terrain, single track, drop offs, and ‘bomb holes’.

We start at a chinese temple, high above Pak Nam Pran, and cycle through hills and pineapple fields, descending steeply into a quarry area, and then onto the single track in Old Pranburi.

If it has been raining recently you will cycle through streams and lakes, (sometimes over the cranks) so bring a change of clothes and shoes. What more can I say… it is what real mountain biking is all about.  Just look at the photos below.

Please note, vehicle support is very limited on this ride because of the terrain.

Cycling conditions- The majority of the cycling is along dirt and 'single' track. There are a few hill climbs, but nothing too steep.  However, the ground under the wheels is very 'rough' so we recommend that only very experienced cyclists tackle this ride  There are a couple of very technical 'drop offs' and 'rises', and also riding in water (if it has been raining).
