Jay B Huwieler –
This tour was a lot more than I expected! I honestly thought that 1) Torshavn was going to be bigger and therefore 2) we were going to spend all 2 hours doing a light, slow pedal around the town center doing some sight-seeing, probably on a single-speed bicycle with little-to-no elevation change; kind of like seeing Copenhagen by bicycle, or maybe Napa Valley. Nope – we gained ~200 meters of elevation near immediately by leaving Torshavn, fought wind and rain and hail in the mountains above Torshavn, and we were mountain biking over trails, through streams, doing some light technical riding throughout, often shifting gears and scurrying up and down single-track. It was a great experience, I would do it again, but I would definitely come prepared with more water, warmer clothes, maybe some padded shorts and cycling gloves, etc. My guide was hilarious! He had a great sense of humor, and it was just the two of us, so it was a good ride; along the way he did point out some sites and gave me some history of what we were riding past, so I learned, I got my heart rate up, I saw some great scenery – I would recommend it to anyone who is accustomed to mountain biking and/or is prepared to brave the elements. Overall, it was worth it!
