We were there in May and had really good weather too. The locals were incredulous.
Can't wait to go back.

Did you drive the pylon road from haifoss to gullfoss?

We rode it from gulfoss to haifoss and it was a monster of a day.

They had the biggest overnight snowfall in the last fifty years whilst we were there. Was hilarious!

Mind you, the roads were all cleared by lunchtime...

Disappointing thread - no sign of chicken nuggets or prawn rings for £1...

[serious] That looks bloody brilliant! [/serious]

jam bo-I think we did. We did drive from the wonderful Haifoss to The mahoosive Gulfoss. Iceland is a defo for any cyclist, however i do think we were so lucky with the weather though, didnt get wet once!

Loads of river crossings including a monster one about 150yds across just above haifoss. Fat bikes aren't great at river crossings, they float...

Wonderful. Great pics & video. You had really good weather too.

I spent a week up there in 07 (got married near Akranes & then drove route 1) its such an amazing place, stunning scenery. Must have been amazing to cycle there.

Love the Bucksaw btw

Great video, nicely put together 🙂

Constructive criticism...got to about 5 minutes before my attention span started to go, all the clips are a nice length but reckon you could cut a few out to shorten it. With someone talking to camera I can watch a 30 minute youtube 'vlog' but when its just music, less is more perhaps?

Anyway, I've suddenly realised I'd quite like to visit Iceland 🙂

Big thanks for the positive feedback guys. Yes it was amazing and Salsa Bucksaw was faultless yet again. And Spooky I know what you mean about the length and a possible narrative on the film, but my voice ain't the one 😉
So get booking and get out there! 🙂
