Allen Boardman Edit - • Bikepacking Iceland - ...
In July 2022 we set off to Iceland for a 7 day adventure, and what an incredible trip.
It was my second time bikepacking and 3rd time to Iceland, but it was Allens first, so I created a route which took in all of the greatest sights southwest Iceland has to offer. Thingviller, Geysir, Gullfoss, Haifoss and a truly incredible trail though geothermic landscapes from Nesjavallavirkjun. That day was one of the most spectacular and exciting trails I have ever ridden.
The one thing you get to experience in Iceland is truly vast landscape of nothingness, it is a feeling I had been long to go back to, and one that is give you a true sense of adventure
We both shared our footage to each other, all 21.5 hours of it, and set out to craft individual edits of our experience. And we never saw a glimpse of each others until they were released so please do go over and have a watch - • Bikepacking Iceland - ...

Brilliant! Loved that and my all-time favourite Whiskey!!!
Haha, yeah it is a nice one with just enough fire and smoke in :-)
37:56 minutes well spent! Thanks.
Haha, dont miss one second :-)
Great work Barry, the single track looked awesome. Thank you for your time in editing and posting the trip. One to remember.
Thank you so much!!! What a trip!! And so glad i have this film to watch and relive it time and time over
Great video, reminds me of my honeymoon there in 1997! We didn't have the problem with flies but probably went a bit earlier in the season. The internal roads look a bit better than I remember! We did 28 fords in one day, absolutely killing but worth it.
Ahhh, glad it reminded you of wonderful times, yeah did a trip a few years ago an the roads we were on were worse than this time, yeah it would not be iceland with out a river crossing ;-)
Fantastic, loved the music.
Thanks so much David
Lovely film, Barry

Thank you so much Jim, Iceland is such a stunning place!
Fantastic Journey for you both and I recognized a few of the sites that you showed in your video. It is a magical place and you look like you had a great time. Great editing and filming by you both. Brilliant to watch. Thanks.
10.20 drone fooatage is amazing good job
Well the landscape was asking for it! so stunning

Thank you very much
He's Barry Godin and loved Iceland so much he did it twice. Always a pleasure to watch your videos Barry! Thank you.
Haha, thanks so much
Good to see you added aero rear rack to your bike there solder had them 4 years never failed built to last
Haha, I may not be soldering mine on yet, but love it :-)
@@barrygodin7538 dam spell check meant to say solid lol
Awesome.
Budddddy!!!! Thought you would enjoy this one!
An amazing video! Recently visited South West Iceland and got to relieve it all again through your video. Inspired me to tackle Iceland with the Bike in Future!
Well done nice video looked like a lot of fun
Thanks! Yeah it was a fantastic trip
Amazing work as always my friend!!!
excellent film and adventure BG, some stunning shots throughout, epic ride guys, cheers
Thankyou so much
What an absolutely stunning landscape 😍 Between the two of you you captured it so well 👌 That off road trail was something else 😱 Will have to watch Allen's version too 👍 🙂
Thank you so much Niall! Yes very happy with these shots! Hope they capture some of the vastness. Allens film is so different, same trip from a very different perspective
Thanks for the video, what great single track around the geothermal area. I live in Iceland and Im going to do that single track, next time you come I would like to bike with you😉
Oh that was such a magical day and a magical trail! not that long in distance, but took us all day because we kept stopping to explore :-)
Only half way through and I feel I must comment. This is so great to watch and the cinematography is excellent. Biggest compliment that I can pay you Barry is it is up there with the high standards of videos a lady motorcyclist tourer called Itchy Boots produces who I also follow. And she has 1.5million followers. Hopefully your achieve the same and the monetary gain will allow you to produce more videos.
Wow that is a huge compliment, thank you very much. I have always made these films for myself, and also enjoy seeing my self in these vast landscape, hence all the effort, and is so wonderful to also share these adventures with others :-) thank you very much for watching, many more adventures to come
@Barry Godin Look forward to watching them Barry
Just incredible! So well done, inspiring and beautiful. Thanks!
Thank you very much, alot of effort put into this film :-)
Great shots of Iceland! Thanks for the ride! Greetings André
Thanks so much, yeah it is such a stunning place
Loved it watching this, inspiring! Thanks!
Thank you very much Tim!
Great job as always Barry! Greetings from Scotland
Thank you very much
For the last 2 years i stoped using front fork bags i think the bike handles a lot better on single track without them
Yeah I have never ridden before this with bags at the side - I could feel them but worked so well! And that old man mountain rack is bomb proof
Great trip you two! Amazing scenery.
Thank you so much
Brilliant Barry, will be doing Iceland at some point. Great trip that ...a daft if not logical question...where did you store your bike boxes while out and about lol👍🍻
It is a place that sound be on everyone's list! Yeah we booked the airport hotel for the last night and asked to put the boxes there and was no issues, did make a very easy trip and easy to take the flight with packed bike in the morning
@@barrygodin7538 Great stuff, cheers Barry👍
An amazing adventure guys!! Looks stunning there 🤘🏻
Thank you so much Dave, glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely stunning as always!
Thank you very much Paul! Yes rather proud of this one
I beamed it to the TV and watched with my non cyclist wife. We both loved every minute! 🙂🙂🙂
Fantastic trip Barry! I visited Iceland in 2021 and drove the ring road and think about it often. I would love to try it by bike.
Oh Yeah it is a place that haunts dreams in a beautiful way and keep drawing me back :-)
Mega! That hut with the bikestand at the airport was a gift, what did you do with the bike boxes? Left luggage? Very noticeable how clean everything was, with no rubbish at the side of the roads.
Oh Yeah that bike hut is a few meters from the front of the airport which is incrediable, could of done with a pump though :-) We booked the airport hotel for the last night and asked to leave the bags there so when we got back it was easy to pack ;-)
Another great video Barry! Thanks for sharing.. Can you please share the gpx file as well ? Many thanks in advance.
Thanks so much for watching
Thanks so much for watching
Is the gpx route available? Looks amazing!
Awesome!!! Makes me wanna travel again to Iceland with my bike this time. Did you bike from KEF to downtown ? If so, where did you leave the bike box and bag? Thanks
Hey thanks Sam! Yeah it is incredible by bike - but things are far away from each other so a few miles to pedal! YEs we booked a hotel by the airport for the last night of which we had arranged to leave the box and bag there so worked perfectly and think i will use that technique again
🤝🇲🇦🤝🇲🇦🤝🇲🇦🤝🇲🇦
What month was it? And where did you stash the bike boxes?
Ah July.
Hey Adrian, yeah July, and we booked the last night in at the airport hotel and left our bags/boxes there so easy to pack when we got back
Great video Barry. Hope you will get to visit my island a bit more often. Have to point one thing out though. This is the South West of Iceland. Not South East.
Errrrrm, I have been editing till the early hours this morning, what a tit!!! Yes of course it is the South West, i have a very red embarrassed face now! You never see it when it is staring you in the eye! Thanks for watching my film :-)
Thumbnail and Title changed, but what's in the film go down as a funny whopping mistake :-)
Kalo ke sono brasa paru2 gw rasanya abis dibersiin sm rinso kli yak...😂
Your taking some big risks😢. Do you find out about volcanic activities before your set off? Because I'm pretty sure one area you went through, either on this one or another, that you had ridden through a volcano caldera, which is only visited by professionals twice a year because its too dangerous to go there more often, as it is over due to erupt.
Also check out Ray Mears survival info on how to cross a river, it make it a lot safer for you.
Any chance of putting all the information about your bike, not so much the bags, although thete are people that would like that info too, but I'd like to know....Did you have to buy the frame abs get everything separate and have it built?
What frame?
Forks?
Rims?
Tyres?
Gears?
Just about everything about the bike.
As it looks alike a really good chunky bike that I'm after. As it has bigger tyres.
Then bigger question, how much did it come to?
Thanks
Hi, not sure on the risks we took, as in volcanos. I have also done lots of films explaining exactly what bike and kit I take, BG tips playlist breaks this down even finer. But the bike is a fully custom build on an Hunt bikes frame and i love it
