TR: Sights & MTB Iceland
August 16-27, 2017
Day 0:
End of last year some local riding friends started planning a mountain bike trip to Iceland. I had never done a guided mountain bike tour, but looking at costs of food, lodging, and transportation in Iceland, it seemed like an ok option. Plus we would be a private trip, so would more likely have a good group dynamic. It was a tough call picking to fly 1 stop from SAN or non stop from LAX. With bikes, option to use 1 less vacation day, and less chance of delay, picked WOW airlines nonstop from LAX. Plenty happy with WOW and would fly them again, but LAX is a huge hassle, so hopefully they start flying to SAN. Packing was the only other headache of the trip. Glad I wasn't stuck on a rental bike for all the rides, but it was a challenge getting all the weather riding gear and spare parts all packed and under weight limit. But it all worked out and it was time to get on the airplane:
