The land of Ice & Fire!
The land of ice and fire promises an epic mix of volcanic landscapes, endless river crossings, and glaciers that stretch beyond the horizon. But with beauty comes challenge. August might bring summer, but Iceland’s weather is notoriously unpredictable. Sun one minute, freezing rain the next—are our sleeping bags up to the task? Are we?
Then there are the bikes. The Tenere 700? We’re confident it’ll shrug off the abuse. But those trusty old KTM twins? With enough zip ties and duct tape, we’re sure they’ll get us through... probably.
As we map our routes and test our gear, excitement is building. Iceland, with its raw, untamed beauty, isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience. An adventure of extremes.
Getting Ready for departure
The ferry is booked, most bikes are ready (well, mostly), and the tents are getting their first trial runs.
Koen has spent a fair bit of money on a new Klim Badlands Pro suit (follow us for a quick review) and has gone tent-shopping.
Not sure if this tent will be big enough for 2 weeks Iceland, but it doesn't take a lot of luggage space ;-)
What else do we need, sleeping bag, matrass, the right tyres, food, and something to get warm again.
Stay tuned as we prepare for this journey—where every turn of the trail will be met with equal parts awe and grit.
To get a bit into the vibe, we get inspired by Brake Magazine's Iceland-video.
Let the countdown begin.
