Karen Ramsay went above and beyond her usual column for this issue. Along with husband Ramdog Dave, she headed to Thailand for her first overseas adventure-riding experience.

I had little idea of what to expect before heading on our first overseas riding trip.
We’d booked flights into Thailand, a sleeper to Chiang Mai, one night’s accommodation, travel insurance, two bikes and borrowed a GPS off our friend and fellow adventure rider, Meg (aka ‘Liladv’). We had no concrete plans. What unfolded over the 10-day riding trip would have to be up there with the best experiences of my entire life – apart from the usual having-three-kids and wedding-day stuff of course.
