Awsome ride and awsome film. It is beautiful out there.
Would you perhaps be willing to share the kit you wear? I am willing to ride in such extreme conditions as well and would like to get some advice of an expert as you. Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!
Looking forward to the next crazy ride.
Greetings from The Netherlands and wish you all the best
Video Quality and cutting is outstanding – loved it! If only the Thumbnail was the same quality, this masterpiece would have a million views for sure. Keep it up!
Congratulations! I like how you stated that on your day to day, you feel as if you are racing a clock. I too feel this way. This video has definitely inspired me to do more, and ride longer. Thank you!
Awesome awesome vid – Listened to all the podcasts and it's great to see the big push in such a well crafted video. Btw the guy crossing the river in sandals is a maniac lol
As somebody who has crossed the Sprengisandur F26 route as well, this is mind-boggling. It took me 3 days to cross the F26 in good weather. One day I did a 72km stretch in over 12 hours and I was totally exhausted.
It's really difficult to wrap my head around how somebody can do this in a day.
But yeah, once mind and body are connected… anything's possible I guess
Congratulations. I'm interested in your definition of first person to cross "under human power." I'm aware of previous successful crossings of Iceland by foot both north-south and east-west that are easily found online.
Great but what a shame you did do that so quickly… Maybe the first person in history to cross Iceland from coast-to-coast in a single push under human power…. But also the first one in history crossing Iceland without enjoying and getting the best of the beautiful nature of Iceland.
Great video man! It has inspired me to go out on longer rides. I'm planning a two day ride next year. What kind of headlights do you have on your bike? And what kind of handlebars are you using for this ride? Thanks man and great job 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Awesome feat! I'm planning to cycle Iceland in less than a month and really want to cross the interior on F26. Do you think the interior roads are do-able with 28/32mm tires? I only see others suggesting/using mountain bikes or road bikes with fat tires, however I'm quite limited (32mm max with my frame). I'm all for a challenge, so as long as majority of the road is ride-able on skinny tires then I'd love to give it a go! I don't mind walking every now and then for deep sand or too rocky of terrain.

OMG .. another ""epic"" explain film.
Joaquin Phoenix much?
I really enjoyed the video. Do you know what the funnel total elevation was?
A car followed him ???? Kind of takes the risk away
Sounds really hard with 10,000 dollar budget and support crew…
where i can buy a redbull hellmet, please help me, im from Mexico..
Surely KOM on strava…
Any chance you could let me know what type of bar ends / clip ons u were using here. Appreciated 😊 Steve A
Great stuff…💪🤙I did coast to coast this year 275 miles in 20 h(16 h in a saddle) in U.K. great fun👅
I really enjoyed the video, but why so short? I would have watched three times that length.
Why though do this on a cyclo-cross bike with drop bars? A cross-hybrid bike with front suspension seems more appropriate for that terrain imho.
How have I only just found this channel?? Amazing ride!
7:01 this dude is in sandals
Beautifull and inspiring adventure! Well done! Which racevest do you use btw?
It’s cold over there but not that cold if they are riding and no one is getting frostbites … try that in a Chicago artic winter …
Yooo is that a Smith aero helmet?? I might have the same one. Very inspiring video and drip💧How do you hold your gloves up in the bibs like that?

If bikes existed in ancient Greece, this should have been the 13th Hercules's Labour.
Impressive, you must visit Colombia. Congratulations
Small difference to us … 1988, we were traveling unaccompanied, without Youtube but also with a mustache ,as they see fit … Cheers 😉
Congratulations!
The camera work in this video is spectacular. Give your director a raise 🙂
Absolutely awesome what bike did you use Trek?
YES!
What an amazing effort, well done!
Big big KUDO to you and The film Maker 🤩
Any chance to know which kind of water bag is on your shoulders please?

Congrats on the Allied Cycles collab and new team mate Colin Strickland. Will be epic in many ways. Best in health in 22. Peace
Do you have information on your bike set up?
Engagement with the elements, no place to hide in Iceland.
There is no highway asphalt system there???
Can anybody tell me what helmet he's wearing?

Good job
Christophe Le Saux did it by trail running in 2018, one push ; Traversée de l’Islande 321km 7000m D+ 54h50 ; https://youtu.be/rpA9t-5b_ps
5:24 riding on Mars
Good job it s not first time i'm crossing the same road in trail running in 54h50 https://youtu.be/rpA9t-5b_ps

Freddy Mercury isn't just one of the greatest singers but also bike rider…😕
Well done! Why did you choose September? Seems like you're risking bad weather during that time of year.
