north fjordland tour

[wendigo]

Biked for 9 days this past summer in Iceland

This shit is on fire!



















Stop looking at me swan...












Only took 20 km to get 1 km away - note the two cyclist first we had run into in 4 days


Rest break




Another rest






Managed 5 hot springs over 70 km in a day - new record of number of hot springs visited in a day (previously 3 - running)




Blowing 35-40 kts, gusts to 60



Found a world cup flag

very cool . Thanks

do you have a map of your route?

[smmokan]

Looks like you had pretty good weather... or did you just not take pictures when you were getting dumped on?

And did you actually ride down to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula past Budirkirkja, or was that just a random picture from the trip? That's one of my favorite places on earth.

Drove the Sneafellsnes Penn - looked fun, but was chauffeuring my in-laws. Took the ferry from Stykkisholmur to Brjanslaekur then biked ~450 km to Holmavik.




Bused to Reykjavik then cycled to Keflavik in a day via Grindavik ~ 90km. Mostly decent weather, a few days with rain/sleet blowing at 30-40 km/h and a bit of 60-70 km/h gusts - fun stuff.

Cool photos, hike a bike on the highway would be brutal.

Looks like a cool trip, I wanna get out there so bad. What size tires were you guys running?

Bombed a 5km downhill - came close to track stand at the bottom when I got the brunt of the wind head-on. Had to hike when it was a crosswind, otherwise would just get blown into the ditch.

Clemente xplor 50 - stock on 2018 kona sutra ltds, except I put a 27.5 w/ resolute 42 on the rear of one bike so that the saddle bag had clearance.
