Itinerary description
This track starts with two climbs that although they are not a big deal they stink a little bit. Just getting to Aung Pan, things get better with a slightly steep road with light traffic that can be very enjoyable if wind is not north (in cycling nothing is never perfect). Anyway it is a nice rolling track till Ywangan crossing some forests and with some rewarding views.
Ywangan is just a convenient stop over due to the mileage but do not expect much to see but a quiet small village with a couple of kiosks to eat on the main road. Only accommodation is at the north end or the town: some well managed wooden bungalows. Though basic they are fine and, besides, there are no other option. The young guys managing the place were really nice and even gave me a bike clean with the hose. Beware of the morning coffee: I should have preferred a true Texan lethal injection.
