Hi MAC,no luck from hhad,guess that forum members are a little too laid back for some serious road riding.haven't considered buying as I'm only ever here on holiday.

luckyyalf..the only place I can think of is 'Huahin bike' they are on Petkasem Rd going North outa town, just
after the PTT petrol-station on your right..if they have no racing bikes in for hire, they may meet you half-way
& fit 'skinny-tyres' into a mountain bike.
(Plan B .. bit of a long-shot...is a little bike shop leaving town on the Pala-U-Road, again on ya right, just after a pizza restaurant..bikes always outside.

Yes, I do a bit of cycling around town but I've never seen anyone hiring out road bikes anywhere.
To be honest, the only people I've seen on road bikes are Thai military guys who look like they have a racing team of some sort.

Just realised that there are some replies here! I was expecting an email if there was any activity.
I think I'll post a new topic to see if anyone knows of any groups that ride in the area... I wonder if the 'Thai military types' would let me train with them?!
oh, what's a 'PM'? I've seen it mentioned a few times but no idea what it is! Personal Message?

You can't receive or send PM (personal message) until you reach 10 posts. This is a safeguard against spam built in by the forum owners. Do a few more posts today and you'll be good to go.

Concerning notification when someone replies to your post. I think the following is correct. Mods please correct if not:

User control panel (upper right of page)>Board Preferences>Edit Posting Defaults>Notify me upon replies as default (check YES) Pete :cheers:
