Day 4

The prospect of riding 130 very difficult kilometres with no place to stop in case we were too tired to continue was not looking good after day 3. The brains behind the CK Express decided to take the first 50km off the trip and hire a truck past some of the first few viscious climbs. We were still faced with a hard 20km climb, however we had the benefit of two picturesque decents and a relatively easy finish into Luang Prabang.
