  • There is this famous Icelandic saying that when you get lost in Iceland, you just have to stand up and you’ll find the way. When we prepared for our big Iceland divide adventure and heard about this, we laughed about it, but also wondered: Are all trees really that small over there? What will the scenery look like?
    And also: How hard can this ride possibly be? Little did we know back then….
    Disclaimer: The rivet on top of the ATLAS' fork is NOT intended for mounting a front rack. The rivet is designed for mounting a light and is not meant to withstand higher loads as with a front rack. Please don't use it for that purpose.

    Hi there, hoped you had fun on my little island. Most who ride that route would be on wide tyres, think 2,0 or wider. Some even do that on fatbikes. Which would make the rough stuff a bit easier to endure but will sacrifice some speed on the nicer roads. Also, I think you kind of pushed it in terms of clothing. The highlands are no joke, especially this close to the glaciers. They cool everything down in their vicinity and if it is raining and windy then it can get bone chillingly cold very fast, even during peak summer. If you get wet in cold windy weather in Iceland, then its going to take some real effort to get warm again.

    Man, that bit in the middle, looks brutal. I hope someone knew where you were just in case you got caught out there. Glad you made it out of there. That kind of shit really takes the fun out of bikepacking. Although, it does make for an awesome adventure.

    From hypercool to hypothermia, it was chilling yet cool to warch from my chair!! True adventure with a true group of friends. It was a gripping video. Had me worried you were not prepared for that extreme cold and wet, making mental adjustments to my own extreme kit. Hypothermia emerg shelter? Check. Strong tent? Check. More whiskey? Check!! And I am from Canada. Brrr.

    I have seen a lot of bikepacking videos lately, but never saw one which was at some point a little bit scary. And that gray landscape doesn't help at all. Hats off to you guys. Especially for lady.
