I am on this tour as well. Saw a post from Jet Blast who is on the tour as well.

Any info on the longest/Hardest day of riding. Want to know what to train for.

Hi,
It's a great trip. The Thailand side of it involves some hill riding out of Khao Yai Nat Park (absolutely beautiful!). Once back on flat land thats that til the end. I think there is a day of about 140 k before you get into Cambodia and I think the trip ends with a couple of long days (140, 160 k)Then you relax on a Sampan in the Mekong Delta. There lots of optional riding like around the temples at Angkor. There's loads of fun, history and the kids and families you meet along the road make you feel so happy and welcome. We had a tour leader called JP from Norway if you meet up with him please say hi. He is fantastic and will introduce you to things like eating scorpions and drinking Tiger Beer [Wink]

enjoy it, it is a trip of a lifetime!
