July 13, 2026. Selfoss. Iceland, Day 19. This is a genuine zero day, complete with a hotel stay (and may I say, the $150 suite I got at Aska Selfoss is the best deal in Iceland). It's pouring rain outside. I've caught up on sleep, dried out, gotten some proper food in me, and am easing my various aches and pains. Seen is the Ölfusá looking downstream just near the bridge. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/lwOhEfr

July 12, 2026. To Selfoss. Iceland, Day 18. This was the scene to my right as I pushed my bike up yet another hill. I had already spent a couple hours cycling slowly through that cloud you see at the top. Rain and wind throughout. It's funny to think that only 22 km would take so much effort on my part, but that is how it is this trip. Better reward and the end, though - a hotel room and pizza. Gotta try to build up my strength. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/aFBbOf6

July 11, 2026. Borg. Iceland, Day 17. Today was brutal. Took down the tent in the wind and rain, rode all day against both, and set it up in a plain field in the windy rainy campsite at Borg. Thank goodness for dry-bags. Huddled in my tent and tried to stay warm in the evening; there are no services here at Borg. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/c18Yx9A

July 9, 2026. Flúðir. Iceland, Day 15. From Reykholt I took a day trip to Flúðir, about 12 km each way. This is the Alda Aldanna statue in the centre of the small town in front of the school. I visited the Secret Lagoon while there and spent maybe an hour soaking in the hot spring water. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/gOjLTNS

July 9, 2926. Horses. Iceland, Day 15. Today was rainy a good part of the day so I did nothing but laundry. I also ate a lot of food. Also got my newsletter working again. Mostly, today was about rest. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/fjU7Vvt

July 8, 2026. Faxafoss. Iceland, Day 14. Cycled about 20 km to Reykholt in a short break in the rain, where I was able to buy real food and find a campground with proper services (except picnic tables). Other than that, it rained, pretty much non-stop. Everything I own is at least a bit damp. There's laundry here, though, thank goodness. When I got here I discovered that the pain in my stomach was hunger. I devoured half a loaf of bread and peanut butter, plus a can of peaches. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/mcGgJ4k

July 7, 2026. Geysir. Iceland, Day 13. Today was a rain day, but in between rain showers I took the opportunity to explore the geyser site and to walk up the small mountain overlooking (beyond which the scenery was gorgeous). #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/8v2cykn
