After breakfast, check out; you'll transfer 1 hour to the Tay Trang border. Say goodbye to the team, and welcome to Laos; meet your new support crew- after we get through the customs border immigration checkpoint. We start the first-day ride in Laos, undulating on a quiet road, passing remote villages along sleepy rivers. The quiet road offers plenty of fantastic mountain views of Muong Mai and Muong Khua.
