<strong>TOUR</strong> D’ICELAND 2015 ›› PAGE 2 — 3<br />
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.
