A hot bike ride

Yesterday's training ride for next month's Team Dai Challenge was fun, but long and hot.  Karen was slightly heat stressed and had to get home to relieve her child minder.  So we stopped in a small village and hailed down a song taew (communtity taxi).  The driver loaded her bike on to the roof after he had loaded in the bag of chickens and box of ducklings the local passengers wanted to take with them into Vientiane.

It was 34 C and after midday and we had been out since 7.30 and covered over 100km. No wonder we were all hot and exhausted.

Thank you very much to those who have donated to support our ride for the Association of People Living with AIDS/HIV.  All donations welcome HERE
