A reflection and retrospective on my Iceland cycling tour.

The ending of my Iceland cycling tour. Two days spent touring Reykjavík, seeing whales and dolphins, witnessing artificial lava, and sleeping overnight in Keflavík airport.

Day 14 of my Iceland cycling trip. The final day of cycling with a final and short push to reach Reykjavík Campsite.

Day 13 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day to sightsee on the Golden Circle.

Day 12 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day to make up for the bad previous day.

Day 11 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day which starts innocently with Puffin watching before becoming filled with failures as the headwinds return with a vengeance (spoiler alert, at the end of the day it was compensated with good company and an amazing campsite).

Day 10 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day of cycling with tailwinds instead of headwinds for a change.

Day 9 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day of cycling towards the glaciers and discovering Diamond beach.

Day 8 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day of coastal cycling, a welcome change to the cycling landscape.

Day 7 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day spent detouring off the Road 1 to climb up to eat pasta at a scenic valley view before discovering the black sand beaches of the south coast.

Day 6 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day where I discover the weird alien planet landscapes that hide just off the main road in Iceland.

Day 5 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day with a slow start in the Mývatn thermal baths to remind myself to be in the present.

Day 4 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day of sightseeing with a quick city trip, a waterfall, and a geothermal springs area.

Day 3 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day where I fought back against the headwinds and steep climbs to try to build up more slack time on my trip.

Day 2 of my Iceland cycling trip. A day where I was introduced to the hellish headwinds and steep climbs of Iceland.
