You are dropped in Mae Ngat Valley north of Chiang Mai and ride roughly 60 km south through farmland, markets and villages back into the city. The route is mostly flat but needs good stamina for a full day in the saddle. Hybrid mountain bikes suit the mix of valley roads and farm tracks along the Mae Ping basin. Pace yourself on climbs and drink water regularly throughout the day. Guides adjust rest stops to match the group so everyone can enjoy the scenery without rushing. ### What time does the day start and finish? Hotel pickup is around 8:30am with bike fitting at the shop. You drive to Wat Ban Den to start riding around 10:00am and reach Chiang Mai proper around 4:30pm after following the Ping river into town. Lunch is served near Mae Jo village around 12:30pm on the southbound leg. ### Is lunch included? Yes. Lunch near Mae Jo village and drinking water during the ride are included. The route passes produce markets where you can sample local snacks if you bring a little cash. Dietary preferences can usually be accommodated with advance notice. Bring a small snack if you like extra energy between scheduled meal stops. Tell your guide about dietary needs when you confirm your trip. ### What is the minimum age? Riders from 16 years can join this cross country day. The distance and heat demand good fitness and road awareness on shared rural lanes. Be sure your child is comfortable with the duration and terrain. Correctly sized equipment is provided on the day where applicable. Teenagers with touring or sportive experience typically handle the pace well with guide support. ### What bike is provided? A hybrid mountain bike and helmet are supplied. Wear firm shoes, sunscreen and comfortable cycling clothes for a mostly flat but long day. Seat height and brakes are checked before you set off. Bring firm closed-toe shoes and sunglasses for comfort on longer riding sections. Padded shorts help on the 60 km distance even when the terrain is level. ### Where does the route go? The ride starts at Wat Ban Den on the west side of Mae Ngat Valley and follows farmland past Mae Ngat Dam and the blue mountain range toward Mae Jo before entering Chiang Mai along the Ping river. Rice fields, orchards and village markets line the route for constant photo opportunities. ### What happens in hot or wet weather? The trip runs year round rain or shine. Heat and sun are the main challenges in dry season; pack plenty of water and sun protection. Light rain often adds atmosphere without stopping the trip. Pack a light rain layer and a dry bag for electronics if showers are forecast. Light rain rarely stops the ride and can make the valley especially green and atmospheric. ### What are typical group sizes? Groups run from solo riders upward with daily departures. Minimum trip is one person so you can join without a private group. Fit leisure and touring cyclists often choose this ride for an authentic valley experience. ### Is hotel pickup included? Yes. Pickup and drop-off from hotels and guesthouses in Chiang Mai city centre are included. You transfer to the shop for sign-up before the drive north to Mae Ngat Valley. Share your accommodation details ahead of the trip so the driver can find you easily. Allow a few minutes either side of the stated pickup window. Northern Thailand heat and humidity can be tiring, so hydrate often and use sun protection even on cloudy days. ### What fitness level do I need? Improver fitness and prior road or hybrid cycling experience are recommended. The riding is not technical but the 60 km distance needs pacing and hydration through a warm valley day. Pace yourself on climbs and drink water regularly throughout the day. Guides adjust rest stops to match the group so everyone can enjoy the scenery without rushing. Guides set a steady touring pace with stops at markets and viewpoints. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/ab00ffdd-fc13-49d8-bc91-ba8e352a4184-scaled.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
