THE RIFT ICELANDS: Gravel races are all the rage in cycling right now, but you might be hard pressed to find one with a more beautiful course than The Rfit in Iceland. It is a 200 km (125 mile) ride through the stunning landscapes that the country is best known for.
It also happens to be a bit of a grueling slog as well. The inaugural version of the race was run last summer and now its gearing up for another go this year. As you’ll see in this video, it looks like quite a challenge, but well worth the effort too.
