GRAVEL ICELAND | OUR BEST BIKE ADVENTURE EVER 🤩

For years we dreamed of visiting Iceland. When @Lauf Cycling granted us three tickets for The Rift, a 200 kilometer gravel race, we decided this was our moment.

We booked our flights 1 week before the event and checked @komoot for some epic #route #inspiration. We found only hiking routes around Landmannalaugar, and figured we could create our own gravel route.

The result? One of our best memories on a bike.

And The Rift? Well, that was brutal. Our Nol finished 9th, Loek 40th and our ‘camera man’ Lars Boom somewhere in between.
