Season 01: Iceland
The community

How far?
How bizarre?

Our customers eat our food in some surprising places. Glaciers, summits, dirt roads, river crossings. The wildest trips, we cover the meals.

The initiative

It started with
a photograph.

Customers kept emailing us photos. WCK packs at the top of mountains, in tents during snowstorms, on bikes in the middle of nowhere.

After enough of them, Penny and Shani started keeping track. Then it turned into a real project. We pick the wildest trips and we cover the meals. No stunt, no contest, no marketing department.

Featured expedition

Across Iceland's
highland interior.

Ten days bikepacking through volcanic deserts, glacial rivers and moss-covered lava fields. Fed entirely by West Coast Kitchen.

Day 1

Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar

Loaded the bikes and hit the highland roads. Volcanic terrain from the start, loose gravel, river crossings, nothing but open sky. First night was the rhyolite mountains and a Jetboil dinner under a sun that wouldn't set.

Day 4

Into the lava fields

Black lava deserts. The only colour was the moss creeping across ancient rock. Brutal headwinds with nowhere to hide. Butter Chicken with Rice became the crew favourite after a 70km push.

Day 7

Crossing the highland interior

Three river fords in a single day, bikes held overhead. The landscape shifted from black volcanic to bright green highlands. Surreal, completely uninhabited, and we were rationing meals carefully.

Day 10

Thórsmörk Valley and finish

Descended into Thórsmörk through glacial valleys and views that made the whole trip worth it. Celebrated at camp with Herb Stew and Pasta Pesto. The bikes were beat. We were fed the entire way.

Ten days deep in the Icelandic highlands with nothing but what's strapped to your bike. Food isn't just fuel out there. It's morale. Every time we boiled water and opened a WCK pack, it felt like a real meal, not survival rations. That makes the difference when the wind is howling and you've still got 60km to ride.
