Learn to conduct your own bicycle touring adventures... in Iceland or anywhere else in the world: http://bicycletouringpro.com/blog/course/?ap_id=youtube ICELAND BIKE TOUR: by the Bicycle Touring Pro In the summer of 2012, I traveled to Iceland with my friend and ex-college Roommate, Brandon Roesler. Brandon and I sat next to each other in a Freshman English class, became roommates the following semester, and stayed close friends throughout our college education. More than a decade after our first meeting, Brandon called me up and said he was ready to join me on a bike tour in Iceland. I’d like to say that cycling in Iceland with Brandon was a totally positive experience… but the truth is, it was a fairly challenging time. Brandon hurt his knee during the first day on the bike, my face swelled up on several occasions, and it was cold, windy and miserable for a great deal of the ride. But we pressed on and we survived. We spent 25 days cycling around the country and I was impressed by Brandon’s abilities. He was strong, despite the obstacles we encountered, and he was constantly making me laugh. Looking back on the experience now, I’m not sure if Brandon enjoyed his time in Iceland. I know that for me at least, it was kind of miserable at times, and that we got on each others nerves. But I think that when I look back on the experience now, the cold and wind and pain has disappeared from my memory, and all that remains is a bike ride with a friend in a beautiful, isolated, and stunning land.
