This is so magnetising - wrong word but you know what I mean. We have landed at Kevlavik and stayed in Reykjavik for two nights and enjoyed a small team tour of the golden circle, we loved the extreme scenes we saw but never visioned any sights like this. Just WOW! Thanks for suffering for us to enjoy!! And, Brittany! What a capable rider right behind you all the way, and offering wipes to cleanse the visors and laugh and share the joy of the ride; lovely grey eyes and lovely personality. Each group you ride with, has fascinating characters, skilled riders, and some who push the boundaries too far and become the target of more humour! But Brittany is an equal, and a blessing. I believe her partner is with you as well, but she is a star!! "Listen to this... - supposed to be silence, but did you Faht?? Haha! Throttle hand is the secret in soft conditions, oversteer with the rear is the way to get round corners in the soft or muddy stuff, especially at speed!! Oh BTW, how was the other woman who fell of her bike the night before and twisted her neck and was out for a while? I hope she improved enough overnight to get back on the bike!

36:42 - when you say it goes against everything you know as a rider, reminded me of speedway racing. Opposite steering, looking the opposite direction, power out, deliberately lose traction. I'd imagine speedway racers would be naturals on that type of surface 😂 Absolutely top class episode Rich

Great series, which captures the highs and lows of trailriding: When it's good and the terrain is forgiving (e.g. Houndkirk Moor), you can pretend you are Cyril Depres. When the terrain is hard, like muddy ruts in the Peak District or wet deep sand in Iceland, it makes you scared for your safety. Open visor at 60mph is something you only do once aswell! The sound of nervous exhaustion in the helmet is very real......looking forward to the next installment.

Fantastic video Richy. Out of all RU-vidrs, you most closely embody the same elements that I ride and tour for, wild scenery and the love of riding. I'm no longer fit enough or young enough to do some of the more adventurous touring, but after seeing some of your videos, I'm inspired to push myself as far as possible to experience as much as possible. In May a group of 3 of us did the North West of Scotland and the more remote, less ridden parts of the Outer Hebrides, in September 2 of us rode some brilliant roads in Cumberland, Northumberland and Yorkshire and having seen your vids of the Orkneys and Shetland, that's my next trip. I'll never be able to ride those tracks in Iceland, but thank you so much for showing us what a brilliant place it is. 👍👌🏍️

@@RichyVida we missed the ferry after a 300 mile ride in torrential rain, so didn't get to south and north uist as planned, also having to find accommodation for 3 nights to replace the Airbnb we lost there. That meant we goy more time on Harris and Lewis. We did tje length of those, stayed in 3 different places in Lewis and did some fantastic riding right up to the Butt of Lewis, which is a great wild area with no midges as the wind is to strong for them!! We also did a wonderful 70ish mile evening ride in the far west of lewis were I hadn't been before, really fast twisties and bends and some tiny hamlets, lochs and bridges. I'll remember that particular ride for the rest of my life. I happened to be touring on my Ktm 890 duke and that evening was riding with only only one of my mates who's a really fast track rider, the bends were epic. BTW, we did repeated runs on the A686 in Cumbria on pretty empty dry roads, suffice to say I haven't got any chicken strips left and it's probably the best, fast extremely bendy road in the UK. I hope you've ridden it.

Jaw dropping scenery! Not sure if I could ever do it... one thing that's worse than a misted visor is having misted glasses as well, which you cant see without!! One tip for the GoPro Richy - the protective lens for the Hero 10 has an additional coating that makes it hard for rain to stick to it, and it'll fit the Hero 9 too 😊 EDIT OK forget I said anything, you've got a Hero 8 😂

I do like a good water crossing... that looked mega... shame about the weather, guess all part and parcel with adventure riding though. I think the needles of rain would have done most people in, especially on sand at those speeds, well done for surviving it. I guess some goggles will be packed in your kit bag for the next one... although the rain then concentrates on all the gaps! 😀

Hey Richy, Loving the series. Just added Iceland to my list of tours for 2024. I have a question for you about your visibility struggles. Was it a case of your visor fogging on the inside, or the rain was pooling on the outside? Did you try goggle AND visor? Did you try riding with your visor mostly down but letting air up inside? I'm just curious as to whether you found a good solution in the end.
@RichyVida
@RichyVida Год назад
No solution. Was just the order of the day - for all of us. No external issues, just fogging on the inside due to moisture in the air and heavy breathing due to the task at hand!

Can you ask your mate, the English fellow whose wearing Dianese Antartica gear what he thinks about the material Dianese used from the knees down to the ankle of the pants?I have the same gear and the material is so stiff knees can barely bend. Especially when the armor is in. The armor is long enough to cover all the way from knee to ankle but that and the combination of stiff material makes them impossible to ride in. It's a shame because just the jacket alone costs £1400 and pants £850. I think they have a 45.000mm goretex waterproof rating which is way higher than anything else in industry.

They already have them. But from what I gathered fogging the inside of the visor wasn't the issue. More likely the collection of mist on the outside that would not shed off even at speed. So, he opened up his visor to see, in turn causing the mist to collect on the inside as well!! Double Trouble!!!

Sorry but as a casual observer that local team leader seems a bit of a knob. His 1st aid skills seemed highly questionable with the girl who fell and obviously had symptoms of concussion. His lack of empathy with riders suffering with vision problems. After all you are paying for an adventure holiday not an SAS style endurance test. Always willing to be corrected/slapped down but personally wouldn't feel at all confident with this leader.
@Hemlck
@Hemlck 2 года назад
I thought exactly the same….really stupid to moan at someone with a concussion from a fall…not much of a leader. He really shouldn’t be in charge of a group in those conditions. One company to avoid.
