After almost four years spent traveling around the world by bicycle, Jona Riechmann decided to take his passion for bikepacking in another direction over the summer. He signed up for his first self-supported bikepacking race, Switzerland’s Navad 1000. Although confident enough in his own experience and fitness to deal with the challenges of such a race, he found himself tested beyond his own expectations. Several days in, he was confronted with a question he’d never had to ask himself before. Watch the video and find a set of photos by Sam Buchli Fotografie below.
The Nadad 1000
The Navad 1000 is a 1,000 kilometer, self-supported ultra-endurance bikepacking race that climbs 30,000 meters (98,400 feet) through the Swiss Alps.
