Just a complete ride from the moment your hire van was actually there.. race…scenery…PRICES!…things to do…volcano erupting faces..probably the loveliest 15 mins of my day.. Icelandic Tourism should sponsor your van.

@maddynutt - I'm racing the Rift 2024 and have never been to Iceland. Regarding kit and layers, do you have any recommendations for what to wear besides the obvious of wool socks? Thanks so much for the commentary and capture. 👍
@maddynutt

I’d bring a mix of kit and test it out in the days before the race! But I wore long sleeves last year. I didn’t wear overshoes because it’s actually easier to let your feet just dry after the crossings. But it wasn’t super cold!

It took a few days for my bottom end to recover from the miles of washboard roads. 😆 Thanks for your feedback and the video - now that I've ridden the course, it was fun to re-watch your video to now know what you were referring to!

Maddy I like all of this Iceland stuff except for the gravel and sand … :) jk. You really turned up the meter on things to do in Iceland after a bumpy ride. My friend at the bike shop did this last year, he actually used my bike case for it. He said it was a tough race however the scenery was amazing. He visited a punk rock museum there as well. Great job on the race and exploring. I’m going to do this race with a suspension fork 👍. “Smelly girls in Iceland” you did it right!

Great vlog of Iceland gravel race and road trip. Looked super hard with that gravel ,sand, those river crossings and steep climbs. Well Done Miss Maddy Nutt with 7th Female and annoying for you with your saddle coming loose. Poor Amira with her race suffering with back problems. Well Done Ribble Collective. Iceland has no trees and just like the Shetland Isles, because of strong winds. Iceland has little elves.? Shetland Isles has little ponies so they can live with the strong winds.!
