INTRO<br />

The Rad Race Crew have been dreaming of cycling around<br />

Iceland for many years, and in 2015 that dream has become a<br />

reality. The guys of the Rad Pack were on their way round a loop<br />

of Iceland, and with them are no less than 8 of our gravel and<br />

CX bikes.<br />

Their “Tour d’Iceland” is a kind of farewell ride that the crew<br />

is doing for their beloved friend and member Sebastian (Aurora)<br />

who died in an accident some weeks ago. Sebastian and the other<br />

RAD PACK members started planning this journey shortly after<br />

their “Tour de Scandinavia” as it was pretty clear for them that<br />

this kind of cycling adventure was going to be addictive, and it<br />

was time for another fix.<br />

As Iceland brings with it a lot of challenges, these are best<br />

illustrated with photos, as there are simply not enough words to<br />

transmit this cold and hostile environment. In the images you can<br />

almost feel the freezing temperatures, see the steep mountains to<br />

be climbed, and the rough gravel to be negotiated, but above all<br />

its the breathtaking landscapes that will be most remembered and<br />

inspire us to one day take a journey there ourselves.<br />

Thanks to our partners Gore Bike Wear, Oakley, Evoc, Clifbar,<br />

Vitaminwater, Vredestein, Heimplanet and MyMüsli for helping<br />

to realize that exceptional trip.
