Day 18

Today we are leaving the hostel, and starting the first official riding day of the Iceland group ride.

Due to yesterday’s reckie trip by Nathan and his team, it was decided to change part of the route because the F338 was considered to be too tough for everyone’s first day on gravel. So, after a good breakfast at the hostel, we packed the bikes and split into two groups as 15 people riding together was a lot to manage and a bit of a nuisance to other traffic.

Once out of Reykjavík, it was time to head out to some quiet back roads, before taking on our first gravel road.
