From Sen Monorom in Mondulkiri to Phnom Penh, by means of Snuol, Kampong Cham, Neak Luong
The arrangement for now is to ride from Sen Monorom in Mondulkiri the distance back to Phnom Penh. This is a significant ride as far as separation yet luckily the street is in great condition. The vast majority of it is cleared, quite a bit of it as of late. We anticipate first making a trip to Snuol on Provincial Road 76, a separation of 135km on average earth street. From Snuol we take after the as of late overhauled National Road 7 through Memot towards Kampong Cham.
Around 12km preceding achieving Kampong Cham we turn south directly after we pass Chob and complete Provincial Road 11 Prey Veng to Neak Luong (Neak Loeang, Neak Loeung), a separation of just about 100km on cleared street with little activity through elastic estates. The course through Prey Veng is a direct bypass however because of little activity and the bowing street a considerably more pleasant ride than the option National Roads 6 and 7. Besides, these streets have a tendency to be unpleasantly stuck in the nighttimes, especially amid occasions, for example, today. We cross the Mekong River in Neak Luong and make a beeline for Phnom Penh on National Road 1.

We eat at the Long Vibol Guesthouse and stop at a corner store in Sen Monorom to top off and clean the bicycles before taking off.
Sen Monorom in the morning
Soon after we achieve Snuol where we get on National Road 7. This street is in mint condition and has little activity, taking into account going at top speed more often than not and this is our specialty.
Split to top off the tanks of the bicycles.
From here we ride to Memot, were we have a break and some lunch. A wedding is occurring and individuals have embellished the street agree with vivid texture.
We continue riding towards Kampong Cham. At a certain point we run over this auto which obviously has separated. The driver has denoted the spot with some wood just a couple meters before and behind the auto, and is repairing his vehicle ideal amidst the street.
I am having a few issues with my bicycle. The motor begins stammering and after a couple of hundred meters, kills. After a few minutes I figure out how to begin again however a couple of kilometers later the same happens once more. This continues happening various circumstances. Its not the oil since alternate bicycles are alright. I assume that the pipe amongst tank and motor is stopped up. Sooner or later we locate a workman and stop to have it settled. We utilize the opportunity to likewise clean the air channels of all bicycles which are extremely grimy.

From here it is just a couple of kilometers before we achieve Kampong Cham. We turn left (south) a couple of kilometers before Kampong Cham and finish Provincial Road 11 Prey Veng. This street makes for an exceptionally decent ride, positively contrasted with option National Roads 6 and 7. It is tight yet cleared and leads through elastic manors. We achieve Prey Veng town, top off the bicycles again and keep, going by the Ba Phnom range, take after the street along the Mekong River until we reach Neak Luong.
We understand that we are on a tight calendar on the off chance that we need to make it to Phnom Penh before dim. We are fortunate and figure out how to get onto the ship immediately.
In any case, National Road 1 between Neak Luong and Phnom Penh is in lamentable conditions, exceptionally restricted and rough and on top very swarmed. In like manner we are voyaging fundamentally slower. Unavoidably, the sun is setting down and we are riding the last couple of kilometers to Phnom Penh oblivious.
We ride straight to the elegant Foreign Correspondents Club at Phnom Penh's riverside, were we have nourishment and drinks and praise the energizing trek and the way that we made it without getting hurt or lost.
