ICELAND DIVIDE - The adventure of Alessandro Sozzi
Crossing Iceland by bike, from South to North, may seem crazy in itself, doing it alone and self-sufficient is… but you know, the limits are only in our heads so I tried.
The result is a journey , emotions and memories that will remain imprinted, forever, in my mind.
You may be wondering, why do all this? I asked myself that too, while I was pedaling in this cold and deserted expanse; I gave myself answers that range from the desire to confront oneself and overcome one's limits , to the need to temporarily escape from a life of comfort, in search of a deeper pleasure .
In the end, is it more pleasant to see the sun after the storm or the sun all day?
Here is the answer.
Some information:
9 days of travel
750 km of which 500 on dirt roads
