@Cycliste and I finished our Iceland tour this weekend. Most of it was on road, with quite a few Sam and Frodo moments:
Some bits were on gravel roads, like the Oxi shortcut from Egilsstadir to Djupivigor:
And one bit on the last day was more of a bridleway:
We travelled light, staying in hotels and not camping, and we were incredibly lucky with the weather. The only bad thing was the standard of Icelandic driving, which is absofuckinglutely biblically awful. Endless pointless close passes, and I was run off the road five times by oncoming drivers who decided that they'd rather be on the left hand side of the road.
Total stats were 12 days' cycling, 883 miles travelled and about 47k feet climbed. And no punctures.
