A selection of images from the past week of bikepacking in Icelands South West. All images, like most of my cycling pictures, were shot on iPhone while riding my bike. Thanks to @bikepacking.iceland for the great service of providing transfers and a great facility to unpack and pack our bikes and store our extra gear. Also, a big shout out to @joemammacycles for getting us dialled in before our departure. And thanks to @salsacycles for hooking @bdickster up with a warranty frame just days before our flight. Our original plan of doing Fjallback Track in the Highlands had to be cancelled due to closed roads but we still managed to get into the Highlands from the north rather than the south. The change in plans ended up allowing us to see a lot more of the countryside and the never ending change of landscape. We did 7 days of riding rolling from Keflavik and ending in Reykjavik covering about 610km. An awesome trip with a great crew of lads.

Woke up at 5:45 AM, checked the tracker, and realized the universe was aligning. Lael was near Pakenham, and I had just enough time to chase her down on Dwyer Hill Road before work! ⏱️⚡

What followed was pure morning magic:
Dropping everything to head north and intercepting her for a chat on the road.

Meeting her incredible 5-person support crew at the carpool lot (huge shoutout to Rue and the team for being so welcoming and grabbing photos for us!).

Rolling deep with an amazing local crew, featuring surprise roadside videos from @bdickster, catching up with @fork_sauce and @emilyartemis, and picking up riders from the Gravel Grlz and ottawawomenscyclingclub. 🚴‍♀️🔥

@laelwilcox is a phenomenal human—just pure smiles and warmth while doing the unimaginable.

The absolute highlight of the whole adventure? Telling my daughter about the woman riding around the world AGAIN. Seeing her eyes light up when she realized we shared the road today was worth every single early-morning second. ✨

Another one for the #silverchainchallenge in #lanarkcounty !!!

No White Flags. No Short Cuts

Highlight reels are the death of the mundane, the work, the ongoing routine of swinging the pick axe and chipping away.
The mundane is where the growth happens, the change takes shape.
It's not quick, not effortless.

Your short cut is not valid here. It's a mirage, a false prophet.
This is about the application of perseverance, failure is the lesson, the opportunity greeting you head on.
A chance to go again, to get back to your feet.
A nod to the challenge.
The acceptance, that this isn't over.

All that is left is the internal sound of your heartbeat and the gentle trickling of the sands of time.

Sometimes you have to swim through shit to bathe in the crystal clear waters.

Start swimming there are no white flags to be waved.

ADV Spring Rally 2026 Days 1 & 2
After a mellow first evening around the fire riders turned in early in anticipation of the ride on Saturday.
As has become a tradition on the @thelogdriverswaltz Spring Rallies there was lots of stopping at cafes, restaurants and bakeries along the route! ☕️🍰🍔🌮🌭
The Quyon ferry is always special- did you know it’s a cable ferry?!
At Quyon we were welcomed by Justin and @malletsofmayhem who were hosting a bike polo tourney over the weekend. It was so cool to see how the love of bikes and the inclusive vibes brought the community together. What talented riders the polo players are. It was neat to see a couple of LDW alumni in the arena and also to see a couple of bikepackers try their hand at polo during the pickup rounds.
Though polo went on until the wee hours the accommodating field gave those who wished a place to sleep.

It was an exceptional weekend taking part in the @thelogdriverswaltz spring rally (ADV) Thanks so much to Eric and Jen for all their hard work organizing and facilitating these bike packing adventures. Such an awesome crew of misfits. We did a loop starting Friday night at Wesley Clover campground in Ottawa. Saturday we road to Carleton Place and then Almonte, Pakenham, Arnprior, Fitzroy, and then ferry to Qyon where we spent the night watching a bike polo tournament. Amazing! Then Sunday we pedalled through Gatineau Park to Wakefield, Chelsea, and back to Ottawa. @bdickster and I road in and out of the city to join the crew because why wouldn’t ya. Meeting so many wonderful people was definitely the highlight.
