Hi Bette and Mike,

I agree with Mike that if you have the use of your hands and head the ride will be OK for hubby. But why not let the trainers and guides decide his fate. They were very good picking up the cues from people, obvious or not. You are planning on joining us, aren't you?

If they do the same course the first half is thru a forested area, part pavement, part sand. As I recall (we did it in May) not much dust. We stopped at one beach (no facilities) for a welcomed break. Then the fun really began. We whizzed thru dry stream beds and over a road (traffic stopped for us)to get to the beach with facilities. I usually don't drink beer but being water logged I tried a Corona. It was the best tasting thing I had had in a long time.

Returning to start was mostly the dry river beds, so so so much fun. Still don't remember a lot of dust though. Note of caution: Radisson sent their photographer on this tour. He captured some hilarious pictures, but I won't reveal how.

See you all soon,

Mary Ellen
