We took a bus to Blondus in the north of Iceland and cycled back to Reykjavik down the F35. Unfortunately we had horrific head and side winds on day one (strong enough to blow the bike out from under me at one point) then on day two the route was supposed to descend out of the plateau and back onto the road but instead it seemed to keep climbing or being flat (with a head wind) for most of the day until we got to the top of the last climb and found a 5km decent when it stated raining heavily! We found camping about 30km after the road started again and then today we started riding in the rain which got heavier and the wind kicked back in during the afternoon. Was it enjoyable? No not really at every turn Iceland managed to make our ride worse, I've never been so bored of riding my bike as 10 hours of headwind when the scenery doesn't seem to change much! Anyway here are some pictures that make it look amazing.
Also the bikes worked flawlessly and so did all of our kit. I'm especially pleased about this as I built my bike (purple Kona) specifically for this trip.
