Stages and Distances
I was basically cycling around the island so I ended up on the Ring Road (“RR”) or Rod Nr. 1 very often. After a few gravel sections (marked on the list wit a “gr”) I got used to it and so Martin and I took other options more inland. On the right hand side of my list you see the daily kilometres and the riding time.
