Poli Berber started out being fearful of riding her bike in traffic. Then she went on a 10 month tour from Paris to Yereven which ended up being life changing.

She returned back to Mexico City and through bikepacking rediscovered her own city. Since then she's taken to mapping out off-road routes around Mexico as well as lining up for ultra racing events, such as Tour de Frankie and the Japanese Odyssey.

We talk about how she managed to overcome her fears and what it's like to look at a map and transform it into a bikepacking route others will enjoy. Poli also shares her experiences of having to problem solve a broken rear derailleur at 5000m of elevation in an ultra race in Peru!

Be sure to check out Poli's video from her Tour de Frankie race and give her a follow via her instagram to keep track of her future adventures. @Berber.Poli
