Mui Ne - HCM City

Distance: 300 kms

If you opted for a beachside accomodation the sunrise over the water can be worth an early start.

There’s the option to follow the coast for a shorter day but if you want a great ride day this is the best option. Don’t be put off by the distance. It’s all easy going but you will want quite a few photo stops so an early start is recommended.

Watch your speed getting out of town but I’ve mapped around where the police usually sit.

Livestock, mostly cattle and goats on that stretch but with better road sense than most scooter riders. After the lakes it continues a nice countryside ride until you join the A1 and the highway leg into the city.

(A) Takes you around Phan Thiet and around traffic the usual police haunts generally.

(B) Is a way point just before a small mountain pass. If you have an on bike camera, get it recording here. With low rainfall and little water reserve this road takes you through one of the most impoverished villages in the South.

(C) Is a good vantage point to view the first lake. Much of its surface these days utilised with solar panels.

(D) to the Dam Wall on the second lake adds 45km to the day, so can be cut, if short on time. It’s an awesome 45k’s though and around the lake, a photographers dream. My favourite stretch on a big bike in the South.

(E) A restaurant tagged just to keep you on the right road. The ride to here the top lake is a great wind on mountain roads. From here the unavoidable transit into the city.
