Bicycle riding in Chiang mai

will i be glad when we finally open our rooms up to guests. it will hopefully be a much needed boost to a flagging high season here in Chiang Mai. we actually had quite a flurry of custom this morning and early afternoon. but since then business has been very slow and appeared so for everyone in the street.
The chefs son , Duhn , had no school today and very kindly went to the market for me today so i got to relax for much of the time.
this afternoon i went out for a bicycle ride on my 24 speed Mongoose. i bought it a couple of weeks ago in an effort to battle the bulge that has appeared from too much good eating and lack of exercise. a bicycle is a great way to get out and about in Chiang mai and perfect for exploring all the backstreets and narrow soi's in the Old City. not that i did too much of that today. i actually rode straight to Buak Hard Park and went and got some much needed sleep by the water.
we've just got back from the Arcade Bus Station, getting Boons bus ticket to Maesai for tomorrow. he has to go up to vote in the national elections.
