Last week 3 of my friends invited me to go on a 13-day biking tour of Iceland in June (none of them have touring experience either...) and I want to say yes, but I have no real experience, or even any equipment. The target is to travel around Iceland's 'ring road' in 12 days, camping along the way. I do have experience camping, hiking, and canoeing--so I'm not a total dud.
