The group met at 7am, had some breakfast and prepared to depart at 9am.

One of the motor bikes that had just been modified to have 2 added wheels on the back had some design problems. 

Over the next few hours a rebuild of the support brackets was required.

Addional support brackets were welded to the body of the bike and extra strong

shocks were added. 

The first gourp departed around 11am to Da lat. The second group departed 2pm after a de-stress lunch.

For the previous 3 days there had been heavy rain in Nha Trang. Fortunetly it held off  until 4pm.

Chatting with group 1, they had some rain in the mountains going to Dala but fortunetly no problems.

Everyone arrived safely in Da Lat, enjoyed the cold weather and a few beers.

Update to be added.
