Last month, I completed my first-ever bikepacking tour, traversing the entire Ring Road of Iceland—840 miles (1,351 km) on my Specialized Diverge E5. From July 1st to August 8th, I would cover roughly 40-50 miles (64-80 km) per day over the span of 19 days. Starting and finishing in Reykjavik, I cycled clockwise around the country, experiencing some of the most breathtaking landscapes l've ever seen. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime and at times felt like I was on a different planet. I'm beyond grateful for every moment of this trip and thankful to have the opportunity to experience it. I can't wait to embark on more journeys like this in the future!

Jealous! This has been on my list for years, but life keeps getting in the way.
What were your favorite/least favorite parts? What’s the wild camping situation like? Is the wind as bad as I’ve heard it is?
Looks amazing. You look dressed for the winter – what was the general temperature?
How were the hills?
How many liters is that bag on your rear rack? Was just looking at getting one.
Nice setup and photos
Very nice! How was the wind? Iceland is on my list but I dread the wind and rain involved.
