Hi
i am hopefully going to Iceland in a few months time although we have a guide for 2 weeks would like to stay on for a while longer and do some riding on our own does any body have any gpx files or advise they can share with me prefer the more challenging off road as much as possible as i am riding a small trail bike 500 cc have been a few times before so have experience with water crossings etc any advise on trails would be grateful
cheers stuart

Re: iceland off road routes
Try Helen Lloyd's book, Iceland, Serrow Saga. She spent a few weeks there and there's a fair bit of detail about the routes she rode. A good read too.
Just along for the ride.

Helen also has a youtube channel and I'll second the book as a good read.

Wikiloc is also a good resource.

Re: iceland off road routes
Driving/ riding in Iceland, OFFROAD is strictly ILLEGAL.
All riding should be done on the marked roads, the beauty of Iceland being that mostly only around the bigger towns
and part of ring road 1 have asphalt. Yes the police have Icelandic style 4x4s and do drive around the interior.
The 931 and 910 is a good start to get you into the interior. River crossings best planned for the morning and take care!
F35 is also a good one to try. Have a good trip
