"Rolling treeless hills faded into the distance, with their electric-green mosses posing a striking contrast to the black lava rock outcroppings, darkened from the fresh rain. Ahead of me in the distance, steam rose lazily from an azure hot pool, ringed by white silica mud and surrounded by jagged pumice. And when the sun's rays finally broke through, a huge rainbow framed it all as if I was dreaming. But this was no dream, no little blue wonderland pill that I'd swallowed: this is Iceland."

In addition to being one of our Production Planners, Bryce is an avid mountain biker, and evidently, a pretty damn good writer. Over the holidays, he travelled to Iceland to explore this unbelievable landscape on two wheels with the help of Magne Kvam and Icebike Adventures. His expedition report was recently published by Pinkbike, including beautiful photography by Dan Stewart, and a great video from Bryce (man of many talents!).

"Everything was just so different from anything we had ridden, so otherworldly, that we felt like children exploring the world by bicycle all over again."
