The release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has finally arrived, and fans everywhere are digging out their costumes and lightsabres to mark the occasion. Kids will be opening Star Wars-themed presents this Christmas and you'll even be able to tuck into Star Wars-themed food. But how to combine cycling and Star Wars?
We've already looked at some of the Star Wars themed cycling kit that we spotted at this year's Interbike trade show, but we want to go further into the franchise, and get up real close to some of the locations.
If you're a fan, you've probably spent more time than you'll let on picturing yourself in the deserts of Tatooine or in the forests of Endor. Who hasn't ridden down a forested trail while outpacing imaginary storm troopers?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens – ride the filming locations
The dramatic mountains and ice-covered peaks feature large in the newest installation in the Star Wars series, and happily those things often go hand-in-hand with awesome riding locations. So make like Rey or Finn, put on your battledress and go!
Myvatn, Iceland
This location is a prime example of Iceland's raw, wild, volcanic terrain. With hyperreal colours and steaming vents, it's a place that already looks otherworldly. Located in the north of the island, it's easily accessible from the main perimeter road and there are plenty of walking and cycling routes in the area. Be warned though – the name Myvatn means 'lake of the midges' so might be best avoided in the summer!
