FD Khao Ito

Description	Situated north east of Bangkok, this relatively unknown area bordering Khao Yai national park is just a 1.5 hours drive from Bangkok and offers some excellent biking trails that will get your adrenaline levels up. This ride has everything except tarmac (well a little just to get to the trail): loads of single track, some technical challenges, some great up-hills and of course (what goes up must go down) scintillating descents. The views are superb and are likely to have all the trails to ourselves. The trails will change with the seasons and even rain offers some great riding that will test your skills and nerve. This is some of the best one day riding you will do in Thailand.

PROFILE This is a hard 30-km ride along single track and sand off road trails. As the down hill sections can get technical and steep, one must have appropriate experience. The Khao Ito Trails are suitable for people who can cope with technical and hard riding. We will be riding mainly through forests on the first half and cycle more in the open countryside on the second half. We ride as a group with experienced cycle guides who will explain the trail before we set off on the more technical sections. Our guides are knowledgeable on the local area and will explain about the surrounding area. Because of the nature of the trails, we cannot have support on this trip so we need to take what we require with us. There is an opportunity after one loop to head back to our start point to replenish anything we need. Water, soft drinks and snacks are all included as well as lunch by the reservoir and we supply a Trek mountain bike and helmet.
