TRAVEL FEATURE I TOURING ICELAND ON TWO WHEELS
P102
We spent our arrival day strapping
our Giant Loop bags onto the bikes
and adding some necessary stick-
ers. We were all in a bit of a haze as
we had taken the overnight flight to
Iceland, so by midafternoon, it was
time for a quick nap, then dinner and
bed. Sleep for the week proved a little
challenging as there were 21 hours of
daylight, and it never really got dark.
On our first official riding day, we took
a quick 30-mile blast up the highway to
the dirt trailhead. It's good that we were
layered up nicely, as it was a little chilly,
and some of the guys even had heated
layers switched to the high setting. We
hit the fast-flowing two-track that had a
mix of sand and volcanic pumice rock.
