Biking in Iceland: gear and takeaways from bikepacking the west coast and the 2023 Arna WFWC race

Lots going on these days, new videos in the works, but wanted to answer some questions I got about clothing and gear that helped make this trip go smoothly!

For pictures and video of my trip, see posts and story highlights on my Instagram, @rebelwithoutacar

Not a comprehensive rundown of bikepacking in Iceland by any means, but wanted to at least get a brain dump out there.. Feel free to leave more questions in the comments!
