      When did you do this ride? I think you have to be very resilient even slightly mad to do it in this type of weather. It must have been grim, the cold, the wet, the damp, the wind and not being warm and dry. There has to be a challenge but is Iceland worth the challenge given it is so empty in many places? I think maybe it would be better in warmer more settled weather or on an off road/adventure motorbike?

      Yes, we enjoyed your video! Great journey! We'll stay tuned for your next adventures in warmer places)
      We have a small question, how much does your gear weight when you finished?
      Did you use Ranger 2.8? Tubeless?

      Good film, well done.
      Cycled across Iceland 30 years ago, I went over the Sprengisandur route which it seems is the F26 you referred to in the film although back then it was called the F28, going by my old photos.
      I can only remember one significant unbridged river crossing, which was thigh deep and left me with freezing cold feet for the rest of the day 😂

      Great adventure! Great trip! I appreciate your point out on the map your course. It gives a better feel of the landscape. I wish other bikers would do the same.

      I have been claiming for quite a few years that riding in Iceland is not worthwhile. There are dozens of videos Demonstrates my idea. And here is another one emphasizes that.
      Iceland isn't suitable for bikepacking or cycle touring. And even the big ring road is quite boring. You want to explore Iceland? Do it by motorized vehicle to gap a big distances and bad weather in short time. Don't spend your time your money and cycling efforts. Riding there is not rewarding at all. NO FUN!
      And honestly, The video is quite depressing.
