No cycling today, we are now at the start of the monsoon. I do expect a few cancellations due to rain but fortunately most showers happen in the late afternoon.
I had the last few days of March and all of April off with a broken wrist and am still taking it easy but wrist is getting better. I nomally try to do 1000 kms/month, could l make it this month? Sadly, no, but l am not down-hearted. My late wife, Goy, always said that I should cycle for pleasure not measure!
Nice trip on the Korat ByPass this morning with detour to see Noi at Two Wheels bike shop. Met a chap who saw my GPS and video camera and thought I was doing some sort of survey!
Vey, very strong headwind coming back from Noi's shop - about 35 knots but only had to do about 4 kms in it 
Very many thanks to Bowling and Sa for their translation work
Cycling down the Korat bypass, was passed by a convoy of coaches with a police escort and hoped that they would not stop at the same gas station as me but they did! So I sat outside, waiting fo the queue in the 7-11 to die down and was surounded by a pile of schoolkids all wanting to have their photo taken with a cyclist - next time I will start charging them!
I slipped on wet tiles at home on March 29th, broken wrist - plaster for 4 weeks and now wearing a wrist support. I am still in pain but it is bearable! Decided to do a hilly ride down to PakThongChai and back; met some cycling buddies at the PTT station. Started to rain at PakThongChai, rested until rain went off and completed the 51kms in a shade over two hours.
