This looks awesome. Just got back from a bikepacking trip in the WestFjords of Iceland myself – I made a film too if anyone’s interested! The landscapes are so different depending where you are! You certainly had better weather than I did 😂
It ain’t over till it’s over! Congratulations on catching up, completing, and having such a good attitude. It would be easy to allow frustration to dominate in those situations so it’s lovely to see you still laughing and enjoying it☺️
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️
Inspirational Juliet .. you really are just amazing ..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Drone footage, you go Sam!!!!
This video brought back memories of the washboard section and I felt the pain with you 😂
Great attitude and footage. You rarely see persistence and grit with such a nice smile
I can’t believe how a bike rider of your calibre, experience can be so disorganised. You need an assistant to ensure your gear is checked
How good are you? Just catch up to everyone, take a few pics, talk to your phone, finish 200kms. Sweet as, no worries. 😎Legend!! 🤘
Wow. Love Iceland and this looks brilliant.
Electronics on a bicycle.
What a load of bollox hey?
Just say no – keep bicycles analogue.
What was the time??
Good for you on keeping a positive frame of mind. I had a blast but did struggle on the section I call the "rock garden" just before first asphalt. I agree that the last 100km is really hard.
Oh dear oh dear, I'd like to say I'm shocked by the start, but I'm not.
Omg that looks amazing 😍
Did you try any traditional Iceland food such as fermented shark, horse or whale?
Perhaps appropriately, your background music reminded me of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (the 2013 version, not the film from 1947)
4:00 – 4:30 the best scenes in the video were when you found that beautiful little waterfall, followed by spotting the first other riders — your smile and the change in your voice said it all
Damn girl you got some talented skill to ride no hands in gravel and your speed in rough terrain!
Great video!! I just love your choice of music 👍🙂♥️
Some mighty nice gear, electric shifters hahaha, don’t know what that damn shark will do with it, might eat ‘em I suppose
Very cool
That looked absolutely epic. Do it again 😬
What a great “race”, captured in a beautifully filmed and edited video. ❤
I also want ❤
I had lots of mechanicals doing this too – and had resigned to enjoying the spectacular scenery quite early on…! You have captured so well all the highs and lows of the ride – good job on making the cut off for the 200 – and thank you for the super friendly, loud and cheerful "Hi" as you came flying past me.
A great lesson never to give up and to put a positive spin on things when they aren’t quite going as planned 👍
6:26 …..lies in bed that evening wondering why one of his testicles has blown up the size of a football!😄
That looks like an amazing ride
That looks great well done
It isn't over until it's over, well done hanging in tight Juliet!
Little mishap at the start but we trusted you to make it to the finish line.
Absolutely exquisite views, it might have felt like a rollecoster riding it , surely looked like it 😆
Make a safe trip back home and take care 😁😄 =]
👋
No Wild Swimming on this trip? lol congrats on catching up and finishing! You faced the low and finished on a HIGH! Slainte!
Well done you for hanging on in there! Loved the commentary 😀
Great ride, saw you at the start line (there were 4 of us in Orange Jackets behind you in your first clip. Awesome job making up the time, I'm still rattling from all the washboard sections :).
What a fab video 😁😁
Well done Juliet, what a fantastic effort after a difficult start.
Would a cross country mountain bike have been better?
That looked a mint race. What an environment to cycle through – well done.
My Kingdom for a cable shifter 🙂 Yeah seen a few videos of the Iceland terrain now.. Deff need some sort of practical methods of getting out of trouble if things go pear shaped say if you were doing same route when the only back up is yourself ! Wild as it gets
Finished with a smile. Nice work.
juliet elliott is my spirit animal. i'm genuinely in awe how you keep up your spirits up at all times. and now i wanna go to iceland.
Thought I saw you on the route (I was one of the guys in the background at 13:11). Absolutely amazing work on catching up from the delayed start and getting in way before the overall time cut. Speedy.
Also, the washboard was hell. It will forever me in my nightmares.
