RIDING THE ICELAND HIGHLANDS
WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY SIMON CUDBY
"T
hat's on my bucket list!" was the standard reply from my
riding buddies when I told them I was going on an adventure
to Iceland to ride dirt bikes. I had ridden on the volcanic
island several times before, but this time we had a bigger group of
friends to take with us on the RideWithLocals.is tour.
After a relatively easy flight to Keflavik airport, we were picked up
by our guide for the week, Skúli Már Gunnarsson, owner of this
thriving little tour company. We loaded our gearbags into Skúli's van for
the drive to the southern town of Selfoss, home of the RideWithLocals
headquarters. We were greeted by a lineup of well-maintained
motorcycles, including brand-new Husqvarna and KTM models,
that we would be riding for the upcoming week-long adventure.
