RIDING PROFILE |
We ride approximately 275 km mostly on asphalt roads in various
states of repair. Most of the rides are on flat terrain through
interesting countryside.
There is very little traffic outside of Bangkok and Siem Reap and most
of the time we share the roads with ox carts and other cyclists. The
trip is point-to-point, apart from the loops ridden at Angkor, and
fully supported by supported by a well-equipped air-conditioned
support bus. |
