What a Ride!
What a ride! The IBA (Iron Butt Association) Ushuaia trip attracted me because of the opportunity to ride with like minded individuals who like doing the miles, and I was not disappointed. Challenging conditions like the Patagonian winds and the gravel roads of Chile were taken in stride by this bunch, and we all looked forward to great accommodations and good company at the end of every day.
My personal highlights were chasing Mike Kneebone and Nuno Leotte on the twisty pavement to the Perito Moreno glacier and the 1100 km day riding from Ushuaia to Torres del Paine through some of the finest scenery in the world.
I'll be back for more.
Rick's Adventures include:
IBA (Iron Butt Association) Ushuaia Tour
African Call of the Wild
African Southern Cross

Nelson, British Columbia, Canada
I can't say enough about it...
Hi Ron, Shirley, John, Rob, Thank you for everything. I did not have time to send an email before to thank all of you. The trip was great. I can't say enough about it. THANKS!!!
Steven's Adventures include:
African Panorama Adventure
Bar Harbor, Florida
Claus is an outstanding guide!
Claus is an outstanding guide with whom we have ridden in the past. He imparts a confidence that there is no issue he can’t handle. Also, he does a great job of moving the group along without seeming overbearing. He makes an effort to know the country and the culture.
Bernard and Rhoda's Adventures include:
Japan - Cherry Blossoms and Mt. Fuji Adventure
Houston, TX
We have been bitten by the "Ayres Bug", so we will certainly be on another trip very soon!
I have wanted to write and thank you and Barbara for a truly wonderful vacation.
What makes a great vacation? Superb food, outstanding accommodations, well planned itineraries, new friends who share the same values, new challenges every day all with a sense of security knowing that there is great team (Ayres) behind you. The net result is a truly fun time and a remarkable memory and to Lori and I who went on the Southern Cross trip all this came to pass and more. We have been bitten by the "Ayres Bug "so we will certainly be on another trip very soon.
Thanks to all your wonderful team: John constantly keeping the group's fun in mind and taking care of every little detail and with a great sense of humour, ED who was such a gentleman and pleasure to travel with. Lori especially spent a lot of time with him and talks highly about his thoughtfulness and kind spirit.
I can also say that to anyone who is thinking of taking an Ayres trip but whose companion is not a lover of the "Two Wheels" mode of transport, the companion vehicle is a great way for couples to share some truly memorable trips to some very unique and interesting places. These trips allow a multitude of dinner stories recounting the fun.
Thanks again.
Michael and Lori's Adventures include:
African Southern Cross Adventure
Caledon, Ontario, Canada
I can't say enough good things about this experience!
This was my second Ayres Adventures tour, but definitely not my last. It will not be my last trip to Africa, either. The tour guides, John and Rob were as much a part of the group and the experience as everything and everyone else. The accommodations were first class and the food was incredible--they always pick the best of both. I think we were all surprised by South Africa and its peoples. The country is clean and the people are friendly. I can't say enough good things about this experience!
Beverly's Adventures include:
Iron Butt Escape to Ushuaia Adventure
African Panorama Adventure
