From lighthouse to lighthouse, from east to west: 800 kilometres by mountain bike through Iceland

In the summer of 2021, a team of three DYNAFIT employees set out to cross the country under their own steam on mountain bikes from east to west and put the new DYNAFIT Ride collection through its paces. True to the motto “The way is the goal”, the crew cycled from lighthouse to lighthouse, covering around 800 km and 9,200 metres of altitude in eight days across the island. The goal was to be on the road as easily and efficiently as possible and to inspire others to leave their own comfort zone. After all, no one in the team is a professional athlete, let alone ever sat in the saddle for so many days at a stretch.
