I have been living in Chiang Mai since 2009 and i dont know how many times the talk have been about going up the mountain Doi Suthep on bicycle... but it have been many!
It was 8 years before i took the first bicycle ride up Doi Suthep and now i cant stop again!
I have now done the ride 3 times and my best time from the Zoo and up to the temple is 54 minutes. My plan is to take the ride 2-3 times a week and in 2 months the time should be 45 minutes from the Zoo and to the temple.
Here a short video with some small parts of the ride up the mountain.
Here some data about the ride:
✅ Average grade: 6,7%
✅ Max grade: 18%
✅ From Zoo to the temple: 10 km
✅ Altitude start: 354 m
✅ Altitude top: 1575 m
