Iceland Traverse - Mountain Biking (ISL)

2016, Iceland

Hans Rey had been wanting to do a mountain bike trip to Iceland for nearly 20 years, unlike the bike-packers or touring-bikers who frequently ride this volcanic island on the main roads and dirt roads, he wanted to hit the best single-track, while crossing through the barren, isolated and little visited interior. Runar Omarsson was their local contact, an Icelandic mountain biker and entrepreneur whom he met a few years ago and who loved the idea of this adventure and riding with a couple of his two-wheeled heroes. They came up with a plan, route and a support vehicle with an off-road trailer with gargantuan 36” tires to conquer the deep rivers, snowfields and sandy sections along the way.
