Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: planning record, not independently verified geometry.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distances and riding times are planning figures. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Reykjavík
Reykjavík is a small capital of about a hundred and twenty thousand people that behaves like a bigger one. The city sits on a windy peninsula in the south-west, with the sea on three sides and a ring of mountains across the bay, and it is heated almost entirely by geothermal water, piped in from the ground. The outdoor swimming pools, filled with hot water, are the social centre of the city, and a morning soak with the neighbours is part of local life. The landmarks are the concrete tower of Hallgrímskirkja, whose design echoes the basalt columns of Iceland, and the glass facade of the Harpa concert hall by the harbour.
