- The Westfjords Way film is here!
A route dedicated to all those that have explored this unique part of the world via bicycle. Last September we biked the route and this summer we are launching the first ever Westfjords Way Challenge - a five day Ultra Endurance Stage race around some of Iceland's most remote and pristine wilderness. From June 28- July 3, riders will race a total of 930Km under endless sunlight through never ending fjords, world class gravel, and multiple hot springs.
The race, organized by @cyclingwestfjords, will have BIPOC scholarships available. For details and registration for this self supported race please follow @cyclingwestfjords on Instagram for updates and to reserve your spot.

I'm not a biker but stumbled across this video thanks to the almighty algorithm. This is the first video I've seen (I think I've seen them all!) that truly captures the spirit of the Westfjords. I miss it every day. Great work!
When you ones visit Iceland you understand the story of this video so well! Beautiful Chris, great video shot and the perfect editing makes it complete.
Absolutely incredible. The movie, the trip, people, adventure, landscape, ... Absolutely perfect.
The rains and the empty roads and the emptiness! Ahh!!
Simply incredible!! On my to-do list for 2024!
As someone living on Iceland and love gravel cycling all I wish is to cycle abroad somewhere windless..
I feel you. I’ve been to Iceland many times, except the cold, rainy days, unstable weather, the wind is actually the main concern. But, you have to deal with it, or not having the joy to dance with the weather conditions 😆🤗
What a bunch of laughing and enthusiastic bikers touring the wonderful Westfjords! Great video & dronevideo. I'm going up there in June '23, but NOT on a bike ;-)
Looks like an absolute blast!! Love Iceland and really want to spend more time in the Westfjords. Epic video Chris
What a great Video!
I wish, I could start cycling there tomorrow!
Your storytelling is next level.. I still watch “Unner” time to time, just to keep me motivated.. you are my inspiration.. btw I don’t own a Sony. I am a Fuji shooter.. love your work.. 🤗🤗
Absolutely beautiful made. And well done. What a great group of people! Would love to do this one day.

Just booked this ride for August 2023, a little concerned about finding Vegan food options, guess i need to stock up on Clif Bars! Great video, thanks for posting.
How did it go? Wanted to go end of sept but didn't reach it, the wind blew me out near Reykjavik
Oooo can’t wait!
Incredible video! Would be great to have more insight on you bikepaking setup for gravel bikes
Fantastic! I was following along on Instagram the whole way!!
Wow stunning
Wow 👌 nice thanks for sharing 👍
went to westfjords 3 years ago at the end of september. snow and ice where our part but luckily the car was heated. 😀
Amazing, going out there this summer for some bikepacking, still looking at routes......is there a route for what you did? also any recommendations on tyre choice, size etc.......awesome video
Hold the UCI world gravel championships in Iceland.
if anyone wanna go here hit me up might go this summer
The Westfjörds, specifically Ísafjörður/Súðavík, is my favorite place in the whole wide world. If you’ve been to Iceland that many times (50) I’d say they can officially call you the Cycling Viking, you’ve earned that title! 🇮🇸 🚴
I’m totally doing this. Anyone know the time of year this trip took place? What season should we target for our best chance at the right weather?
Summer, it's all green
