What happens when a 5500km solo bikepacking trip goes wrong? I spent 37 days cycling across the Mediterranean on a vintage bike, only to have the frame split in half mid-journey. This full-length documentary covers the entire route from Portugal to Greece. From battling record-breaking rainfall to navigating mechanical disasters, this is the unfiltered reality of long-distance cycling.
