Our friend Helge Pedersen reminded us today why it’s important to ALWAYS wear full protective riding gear. Here is a message from Helge:

Today we loaded the bikes into the truck and drove to an area where there are a bunch of tight enduro trails in the woods, near the town of Waimea.

Today is the Seattle Supercross. We’ll go for another ride in Puna district again, because it’s a little closer to home. Here are some more photos:

We started out by following 2-track powerline roads up the mountain to about 7000 feet. These are rocky roads but in some places they are 2-track, grassy roads, fast and fun. You don’t want to run off the road into the lava.

Today we got on the bikes and rode towards the Puna coast. We had hoped to go to where the lava was flowing into the ocean, but the word was that the lava has stopped flowing.

While on vacation in Hawaii with my family in January, I mentioned to a friend that I would really like to get my hands on a street legal CRF-250X and ship it back to Washington. My friend said "I think there is one on craigslist right now!"

It read 10,093 kilometres to fly and an estimated 11 hours and 55 minutes time in which to cover this distance. The map on the television monitor aboard Aerolineas Argentinas 747-400 told us all the information we needed to know. The flight from Gatwick to Madrid had been uneventful and we hoped the long leg to Buenos Aires would be smooth and quick.
