Sicily Divide: This Broke Me | Solo-Bikepacking Documentary

#SicilyDivide #bikepacking #adventure
I had one goal this year: Finishing my first solo-bikepacking tour. Although, not being new to ultra-endurance cycling: The Sicily Divide route broke me. This is my story.

ABOUT ME:
Hi, I am Nono. I am a amateur triathlete and bikepacking enthusiast from Hamburg in Germany. I love exploring the world by bike whilst learning something about myself and the areas I am visiting. I believe that challenging my mind and body and sometimes reaching my limits helps me to grow and improve as a human-being.

ABOUT SICILY DIVIDE:
The Sicily Divide route is a beautiful bikepacking trail cutting right through Sicily from Trapani in the west to Catania in the east. With a distance of 458 km (285 mi) and 8,550 m of elevation gain (28,051 ft) it's recommended to do this adventure in 7 days – I tried to do it in 4 days.
