Here’s episode 3. It features peanut butter, gravity-powered freewheeling, considering eating a raw salmon B. Grylls style, brutal climbs, roads that vanish into the horizon, and the realisation that the election angle of this project might not be what this trip ends up being about.

Turns out rural Nevada was a really bad logistical choice when it comes to random filming encounters with people along the way. There’s barely anyone here and this whole ‘Election Special’ concept doesn’t seem to working out too well yet.
So, here’s a very short short film about solitude instead. Because there’s a lot of that in rural Nevada.
Here’s episode two. It features the first couple of big days back in the saddle, camping in the desert, blood, tarantulas, some bad rhymes, a realisation about Nevada, and a brand new cooking show. It is fair to call it mostly rambling nonsense.
And we’re off, kind of.
This mini-project will mostly be broken down into Episodes and Shorts. Shorts will be films about people. Episode’s will be trip report style updates.
Here’s Episode 1. Sorry but please keep your expectations low as this Episode 1 is not as good as Star Wars Episode 1 and doesn’t feature lightsabers.
Oh yes. OH, YES. Time for a new project.
Starting on Sunday, for a month, here’s the plan: it involves a bike (the same inappropriate, unsuitable one as last time) and another vague not-properly-planned-in-any-way journey. The best kind.
There’ll be more info from Sunday onwards but for now, if this sounds intriguing, watch the video above, or on Youtube here.
