Chris Burkard Instagram – Bike packing first drew me in as a unique challenge of exploring autonomously, carrying everything with you… a combined with action, strategy in packing, and route finding. In 2020, I decided to ride across Iceland from the eastern shores to the west edge… and exciting prospect I thought would be stimulating and difficult but in the end, rewarding. While the expedition turned out to be those things (and much more), I found that more importantly – the ride was a meditation of the landscape. An immersion of sorts into each sweeping fjord, grain of sand, cracking glacier… countless intimate details that stretched from Iceland’s east to west. It was a true silver lining and showed gave me a new appreciation for the sport and it’s ability to bring me into the rhythm of a landscape.
