Our nemesis, the Icelandic rain, keeps us in its grip while we try and make the best of the situation. When there seems to be an opening in the weather we are in for a muddy off road stretch with volcanic ash. A river crossing is made memorable by a new four legged friend we name Icy. Finally the sun decides to be a bit less shy and once again we find an amazing camp spot with next level vistas. Life is better when challenges are overwon!

Iceland certainly is one of the more challenging places we have cycled. One of the worst summers in recent history we heard made it all the more demanding. Still we enjoyed every bit of it, although some of it type two fun 😉 Have you ever been to Iceland or are you planning on going? It's bound to be a special experience! Have a great day, E&M
Guys cycling in Iceland raining made me shivering in karachi.
Doing anything outside in constant rain makes it tough. Props to you two! I don't think many could tough it out like you did.
From approx. 10 minutes of what a beautiful nature. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video!! Erik from Denmark.
This looked absolutely brutal. Definitely not for me!
I remember my self on my first bicycle tour I was under a bus station when it was raining
Every adventure has a point where you have to embrace the suck… fantastic job powering through it!
i like ur map where to get?
ride safe always the video production superb!
Y yo me quejo cuando en mis viajes llueve algún que otro día..
Increíble lo que hacen ustedes ❤
A very happy new year to you both Eric and Maudi. Yet another year of your adventures is over and it's been a real pleasure to accompany you. Thank you
This both are fools
Hi guys , it looked fun but rather tuff in places, hope your well and taking a rest over the holidays 😊 💜.
Bedankt
Great video and creative editing. Great experience of challenging bike tour!
the struggle ! im watching this while eating ice cream . I appreciate life more when watching your videos👊👊
Respect! You guys are incredible 👏❤️
Being back from Iceland by bicycle myself and having survived Sprengisandur, F26 and F88, may I suggest some easier way of river crossing with a loaded bike? Always cross the water upstream half the width, the turn downstream for the second half, like a "V" upside down. This way the pressure of water never hits you full broadside and the risk of getting swept away is significantly lower. Also, always keep the bike "above" you. It is easier to push, than to pull.
Looked like a very challenging adventure. Cheers 👍
You guys are just the best, a fantastic video and I could see the episode with your four legged friend lifted your spirits. And that final segment with Maudi making breakfast is what makes your approach to travel video so refreshing and special.
I like U'r equipmant , really , 25 years ago i was traveling by bicycle in polad from board to board without eny turistic eqipment and i was deram about like yours:)
Brrr!!! I just had a couple slices of some Philly cheesesteak pizza! 🍕
I do kinda feel bad drinking my Coffee here in my office in Denver, Colorado. Cheers though, you guys are awesome! 🙂
It's my catch up day! Silly question: How do your brakes work so well in the rain? My mt. Bikes brakes don't.
What was the significance of the stacked rocks? [ 7:00 ish time stamp ]
great content thanks for taking us along on your journeys!! I am taking a 1000 mile trip this summer to Minnesota !! Can't wait!!
I want to go to Iceland some day- It is so beautifull – Your video shows it really- besides the weather 😉 – What happened to the dog – Did it find its own way home ?
I was reading the comments. One person described you guy as having “grit and determination” . That’s a good description, for sure. Your faces look so red. I don’t see how you keep your hands warm. Also, there was a shot of your detailed – caked in mud. To make things worse, that mud must freeze on there.
Going to college in a state that has 6 months of cold weather and no car all that time, I had to endure some inclement weather but nothing like you all experienced.
Thanks for sharing. Your new subscriber here..wow.. Nice epic adventures! Always travel safely.
I have to lol when you cook, brings back so many memories of being on the side of the road somewhere throwing everything into a bowl and wolfing it down because I was starving. There is nothing like bike touring meals, no matter what you make you're so hungry it tastes great.😂
