1 Day Mountain Biking : Eagles Route

Downhill adventure letting you refine your mountain biking skills.
For the outdoor and biking enthusiast this is a favorite day adventure, easily accessible from Chiang Mai. The exhilarating tour takes you on a journey down the neighboring mountains and gives you a mountain side view of the surrounding areas. The trip is designed for both the novice as well as the experience cyclist and is almost entirely downhill. All equipment and transportation is included and all we ask you to bring is your enthusiasm.

Itinerary:
Pick up by 4 wheel drive transportation takes us to the top of Doi Pui Mountain 1600m (5400 feet) above the palace and Doi Suthep Temple. After taking in the view, we are ready to ride down to our favorite coffee plantation. This first part of the trip helps us to evaluate your riding ability and we talk about techniques to make your downhill cycling even more enjoyable. Everyone is encouraged to practice the newly learned techniques.

The trail leads straight down the mountain with at times steep downhill riding. Absolutely no lengthy up hills disturb the rhythm and spirit of the forest, at our many rest points we enjoy the beautiful views of Chiang Mai below. The challenging terrain of the route captures our full attention. The wild growth of the forest hugs the path. Half way down we leave the dirt path and head straight through the forest on single track over roots and rocks, a well deserved break at a secret waterfall, and then single track all the way to the lake for lunch. This ride, although not easy, is a great introduction to off road downhill mountain biking. After lunch we head back to Chiang Mai the lazy way, in the truck.

Note: Price is reduced as group size increases.
