There may be some local conventions as to when the truck travel is heaviest. You might want to ask around about this once you get there.
Have a great time, i've got some UL camping to be done outside of Paris this year if all goes according to plan.
Thanks, I've arranged things so I'll be riding out of Reykjavik on a Sunday morning to avoid traffic, although traffic doesn't scare me having ridden for my years in London and Boston. Once away form the SW there aren't many cars on the Ring Road, but there is a daily bus which is my emergency plan if things go terribly wrong.
Also I can't take credit for the Tarptent Contrail video, I just found it on youtube.
