Where is the best place to start. A bar, right? OK, this is it. The bar at the Best Western - Irazu. We all met here. Free drinks from 5-6 PM. |  |
The Memphis gang: Mike, Amy, Tim, Larue, Tripp, and Tom. But get me straight — they didn't all sleep in the same room! | |

Where the adventure really starts. The office of MotoAdventures. |  |
Now we are riding. Whoops! Well, we were riding. | |
 |
Which way now? |  |
Our first night's destination, the Volcan Turrialba Lodge. That's Larry Larrabure, our peerless leader, with the bikes. | |
 |
Pictures of Volcano Turrialba, in the afternoon and at sunset. That's Vic and Amy in the foreground. |  |
The start of the route up to Volcano Turriabla. On Larry's advice, Vic waited right here. Not everyone else made it to the top. | |
 |
Now and then we had a bit of trouble. Vic is trying to figure out how Larry got this far with no rear wheel. |  |
Costa Rica is extremely mountainous. The countryside is gorgeous. These three scenes will give you a idea of what it is like. | |
 |
We've made it to Jacó Beach, on the Pacific Ocean. Larue, Tim, Tripp, and Mike would be riding on the surf — but they forgot to bring their boards. |  |
On our rest day at Jacó Beach, we decided to swing through the jungle. Tripp demonstrates the proper form. | |
 |
Marco drove the support van and kept the bikes in good repair. |  |
Now we are back in San José, at MotoAdventures headquarters again. It has been a fascinating week. |
These pictures are from a MotoAdventures tour which we took over the week of 13-20 February 2000. For more information check out the website and/or contact Larry Larrabure, guide and (former?) owner.
