Dear all,
We're safely in Bangkok. The virgin twos (Legolas and Maggot) has finally been devirginised and build some much needed self confidence into themselves.
They can now be considered as the "real man" with a cowboy hat and Malboro advert like post.
More additional videos / post might follow after this.
Regards,
The Emperor

What's in a name...
First, I feel we need to justify to all reader out there, why of all the names out there, it has got to be "cycling circus". (Of course, this blog was completely created by Moose and smaller insignificant creatures like Maggots and Birds have no say.)
Moose, being chief planner for the trip and all definitely have his own "mission" for this trip, which stays true to his "moosey" nature. But during the bus trip from Phrae to Sukhothai....(yes, we took a BUS and not BICYCLE from Phrae to Sukhothai). I was suddenly enlightened....the name cyclingcircus couldn't have fit us better, simple becos the whole trip is a big JOKE =)
Which sane soul on earth would cycle under a 44degrees hot sun??!!
This is definitely not just a bird fart away..
Maybe the previous cycling from Johor to Kelantan wasn't CRAZY enough. We needed to add some spice..some killer hills here and there...turn up the heat another notch....and wah lah! you have the CYCLING CIRCUS!!! (background music: think circus)
Note: As I am typing, conversation behind me:
Legolas: Esok Kamphaeng Phet...u rasa boleh tak?Maggot: Memang tak practical mah, panas sangat...tapi try push lah....

Get Ready for the Latest Circus Performance...
Stopping at the following city/town/kampung near you....
Start Date: 21 April
Estimate time of arrival : 1040am
Location : Chiangmai
Distance from final performance : 790km
The circus are expected to arrive at 1040am sharp. Bird and Legolas to report to nearby shop to equip themselves with the spinning wheels. Emperor and Maggot to assemble their own wheels.
Date: 22 April
Location : Chiangmai
Estimated Distance from final performance : 790km
Next Performance : Lampang
Easy ride. One bird fart will complete the distance.
Date: 23 April
Location : Lampang
Estimated Distance from final performance : 697km
Next Performance : Dan Chai
This is where everything gets tricky. Bird's too lazy to fly over town to check whether it exist or not. So The Circus is departing to Den Chai with only a dot on the map as an indication that a town existed on site. For all we know, it has already been wiped off the face of earth by a herd of marauding elephants.
Date: 24 April
Location : Dan Chai
Estimated Distance from final performance : 612km
Next Performance : Uttaradit
Things should be boring enough for The Circus to come out with an official "The Circus" theme song.
Date: 25 April
Location : Uttaradit
Estimated Distance from final performance : 557km
Next Performance : Sukothai
Ahhh, more ancient buildings.
Date: 26 April
Location : Sukothai
Estimated Distance from final performance : 457km
Next Performance : Sukothai
One day rest. Legolas and Maggot to remember to wash their underwear and cycling pants. Cycling pants with fungus/mushroom growing in it is not cool.
Date: 27April
Location : Sukothai
Estimated Distance from final performance : 457km
Next Performance : Kamphaeng Phet
Everyone should be good to go by now. If your underwear/cycling pants is still wet, it means you're still not resourceful enough. e.g. scour nearby toilet for the hand dryer.
Date: 28April
Location : Kamphaeng Phet
Estimated Distance from final performance : 384km
Next Performance : Nakhon Sawan
Normal stop. The Circus should be quite bored of each other.
Date: 29April
Location : Nakhon Sawan
Estimated Distance from final performance : 267km
Next Performance : Singburi
By now, there should be an official The Circus line dance with a somersault to boot.
Date: 30April
Location : Singburi
Estimated Distance from final performance : 167km
Next Performance : Ayuthaya
More ancient ruins. By now, the excitement of seeing a new ruin has long being replaced by the "oh, another ruin. cycle on."
Date: 1 May
Location : Ayuthaya
Estimated Distance from final performance : 87km
Next Performance : Ayuthaya
Another one day stop. If you failed with your underwear/cyclingpants test previously, time to make amends.
Date: 2 May
Location : Ayuthaya
Estimated Distance from final performance : 87km
Next Performance : Bangkok
Almost there. Some will either cycle faster. Some slower. Expects Maggot to be exceedingly motivated at this final distance.
Date: 3 May
Location : Bangkok
Estimated Distance from final performance : -3km
Next Performance : Bangkok
One Thai massage will sooth the body. However must thread with caution. Missus will punish if there's a mention of a panky here.
Date: 4 May
Final Performance : Bangkok
Estimated Distance from final performance : -3km
Flight home : 1015am arrival
Home sweet home. The Circus to perform official dance upon disembarking the plane. Emperor to strike RM3million jackpot lottery and laugh happily into retirement after 14 days of fervent meditation and prayers at various Thai temple.

The Chiangmai-Bangkok Cycling Circus Sponsorship Drive.
In a desperate attempt to raise fund for the upcoming cycling trip to enable ourself to get additional Thai massage to sooth our weary body at the end of every cycling day, the organizing committee has decided to corporatize ourself and take up willing companies to be the official sponsor of The Chiangmai-Bangkok Cycling Circus.
Rest assured that your hard-earned money will not be wasted and the logo/slogan/etc. will be clearly shown as we go cycling along the route.
Our Proposition?
Incredible exposure for sponsors. Your logo will be strategically placed to enable prominent viewing for the population of Thailand. Please peruse the following sample picture of how a potential sponsor will benefit from our strategic and striking advertising space that will enable full exposure for your company.
Yes. You have seen it RIGHT!!!! We are able to magically match our clothing (clothes, pants & helmets only. Inclusion of underwear in the deal will cost an additional RM250) to your company's logo/color scheme, which in turn will give an never-to-be-forgotten exposure to the Thai population. And in fact, we'll even run a research of your company profile and add in an additional bonus of an item that accurately represent your company(note the wing and the beak helmet).
And with the noble intention of providing a truly value added service to your company, if the full sponsorship package is purchased, we've decided to include the never-been-done-before deal of having one cyclist(what you see is what you get, note: the cyclist featured here) at each stopping point, to do a special dance that truly resemble your company's profile and at the same time, loudly singing your company's official song, all for FREE!!!
So what are you waiting for? What's stopping you?
A truly great value-for-money package for company of all size. You know you really WANT!!!! this.
