Super jealous.
When? We were there for 2 weeks in early June for our honeymoon - saw lots of bikepackers - wished every moment I was doing the same thing.
Would love to see where you went/ where you stayed.

Thanks, folks. My girlfriend and I bikepacked for 30 days, and we never took a bus, never rented a car, and never slept indoors. It was a truly awesome experience for us.
Here's the first of five posts: Max, The Cyclist Bikepacks Iceland
Just hit "Next Post" down at the bottom and you can go through the whole trip in a half-hour. My motto is "Bikeporn in every post."

Just finished my Nature Boy SS. 853 Reynolds steel, 38c tires, 42/20 ratio and 24lbs heavy. Already swapped that stem for slightly longer, pulled all the decals off the wheels, and I'm waiting on a matchy rear rotor, but otherwise, this is it.

I started blogging about my bikepacking trip in AZ and i lost motivation. Writing is so much ****in work. Hopefully I'll finish writing all that and get back into it.
Looking to hit up Iceland but hit a much more remote dirt loop. How much was airfare for you two? That looks like the biggest hurdle

Valve stems should be at 1:00 o clock, not 12:00. Ask @TimothyH why.

Bikes were $100 each way on Iceland Air. Total then is $1400 for two people and two bikes round trip. WOW Air will save you money on the tickets but you'll lose money after factoring in bikes and luggage.
We landed and stayed in Sandgerdi and I would HIGHLY recommend that over the route to Reykjavik. The campground there will store bike boxes for the duration of your trip.

I was going to build one up myself but then they went out of stock in my size and I wasn't going to pay for a new model year which was way more expensive so I went with something I wanted to do previous to this. However your build isn't that dissimilar to mine so it is good to see something close to my "beeping throbbing vision" (I stole that from an old forum wondering when Steve Albini's studio was going to get ProTools)!
Hope you have fun on it. I might build one up next year if this model year goes on the same clearance sale down at QBP! Plus I could go SS on this one because my new one is strictly fixed so far.
