Zwift - Watopia

after a year of planning, scouting and dreaming of this perfect route that takes you thought the heart of icelands highlands, past ever major glacier and from its furthest Eastern Point to its furthest Western point.. it finally happened. Truly a beautiful line and honestly I cannot imagine a better bikepacking route race route. We did this in a self supported fashion carrying all necessary food and supplies with us. Only stopping at en-route gas stations or huts with food available . We stayed in remote mtn huts or cabins 7nights and camped 1 night. total was 8.5 days. 

Also I cannot Thank the team enough, Emily, adam and eric for keeping me sane, upping the tempo and staying strong amidst this crazy ride. Thank you so much for making this lasting memory with me. 

I can only hope others go and experince this route. We poured a lot of time and energy into it.. Yes we got a fantastic weather window, that was pure luck. But beyond that you would need to have proper river safety training and really know how to deal with mechanicals and medical issues because some of these stretches are REMOTE and desolate. But if you venture out there.. you will find many hot springs.. endless glacial valleys, braided rivers, new volcanic flows and a few odd 4x4 enthusiasts. You may even find some elves. 

Get after it people!!
