Election Special: Episode 4 – The Finale & Giving Away my Bike

This is the final episode. It features hash browns, cows being blown across the road, Anne Hathaway, piss poor preparation, pedalling in the wind, google maps failures and arriving at the final destination of Salt Lake City via a dodgy interstate.

Also, I am GIVING AWAY my bike. It’s in great condition at the moment, and is ready for a round-the-world trip if that’s what you’re into. Watch the video from 5:13 to see how it can be yours (or keep reading). No strings attached – I’m literally giving away my bike to someone who will benefit from it.

If you’re quite tall, if you don’t already have a touring bike, and if a touring bike would benefit you and will get some use on an adventure, then this could be for you.

I’m going to do different, non-touring related projects for a while, and would much rather this bike is used than it sits in storage.

It’s been left with the crew at Guthrie Bike in Salt Lake City, and I’ve briefed them to give it to whoever they see as it helping the most. Call them on 801-484-0404 if that sounds like you. It’s up to you to arrange delivery details, so probably only makes sense if you’re based in the US. Happy pedalling!

Election Special: Episode 3

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.

Solitude

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.

Election Special: Episode 2

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.

Election Special: Episode 1

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.

Vague Direction: The Election Special [VIDEO]

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.
