Trang Cycle Club, Thailand

I’ve been adopted by the Trang Cycle Club. It all started when Stanna and I were stopped by Suncern, a friendly and gregarious Cycle Club member, on a Trang city street saying, “Where are you from? I’ve seen you walking all over town.” Within minutes he’d established that I was a cyclist from Colorado and asked us to take several rides with “them.” They would find us some bikes and organize a trip to caves or waterfalls, and if I’d stay till Sunday “we” could all ride to the Pak Meng beaches and back.

they are Fabulous on the down hill".
